Thomas and Thomas Fly Reel 3 3/8"

Thomas and Thomas Fly Reel 3 3/8"A Thomas and Thomas fly reel, 3 3 8" diameter and set up for LHW, though the bias feels pretty neutral to me. I'm not sure who made this reel but it looks a little like a Bill Ballan reel in some respects. The reel weighs 5. 8 ounces on my scale with a tiny bit of backing still on it. S handle style design with black anodized aluminum sideplates and a silver anodized frame. Fixed click drag. The "T&T" script is etched on the counterbalance. Despite

One corner of one end of the foot has also been bent (presumably from a drop) though I think it should mount under a reel seat

The ferrules feature red witness marks

Per tells me he has made fewer than a half dozen of this model rod

The reel packs into an excellent block leather case which appears to be original (it has the initials "GMM" pressed into the top of the lid)

this is a great little reel for your small stream fishing

ebonite handle that spins freely

- Drag Adjustment - The frame-side drag adjustment knob is buttery smooth and infinitely adjustable

quick-release button latch spool mechanism

All original and in excellent minus condition throughout

The cork is quite smooth and of wonderful quality

The parabolic action is on the faster side of medium-fast

and light brown at the ferrules
