We have several fine reels to display. Please be patient on download time.
(Estimated download time is approximately 1 min. with a 28.8 modem)

Almost without exception, what's listed in the Miscellaneous section has only one of each available. If you want it, don't hesitate before contacting me. When it's gone that's it. In most cases, what you see here cannot be replaced easily. I offer the same fifteen day turnaround for these products as I do new reels. PLEASE do not abuse this. Many other dealers have given up offering returns on used reels. Though sometimes I refer to this as the used section, fully half of the listings are actually closeouts of discontinued models, colors, or where I have decided not to carry a particular reel any longer. My inventory and the business-owned reels then become expendable at excellent savings for you. The conditions listed are accurate. In fact, most of my customers tell me that I am conservative on my condition reports.New reels are just that. Mint means that a reel may have been lined, but it has never been fished. Excellent usually means you'd be hard pressed to tell that it was used, but in fact it has been. Several of the reels on this list were intended to be used by me, but either never were or were used only once or twice. Since I am meticulous about taking care of my equipment, they are then almost always indistinguishable from new.

This list is accurate as of 7/2/09. More photos will be up very shortly.

1. Vosseler DC2LA. I found this guy when doing my annual inventory at the beginning of the year. I thought I had sold all my Vosselers. 2.9"x0.80" and 5.3oz. It'll hold a WF4F and 50yds of 20#. The is the highly desired large arbor version and comes with a large arbor SPARE SPOOL. Both are in the popular titanium finish. The DC models have a pretty serious synthetic drag. It comes with the original boxes, nylon reelcases, and instruction sheet. This is brand new from inventory at almost 30% off the retail. $250.00. SOLD
   
   
2. Bradley Brookie Pillar. Essentially the same size as the Brookie but in a raised pillar style. 2.375"x0.9" and 4.5oz. It'll carry a DT2F and 10yds of 20#. Brand new from inventory at 30+% off. RH or LH. $295.00.
   
   
   
   
3. Bradley Classic. A wonderful classically styled 4 or 5 weight reel. 2.675"x0.9" and 5.3oz. It'll hold a DT4&20yds of 20#. This one is brand new from my inventory at 30% off. RH or LH. $295.00.
   
   
   
   
4. Bellinger/Saracione 2.75" Deluxe Nickel/Silver. The original Bellinger reel that was developed with significant assistance from Joe Saracione. From a collector's standpoint, these are the most sought after of the Bellinger reels. But each of them is still a delightful fishing implement. 2.75"x0.6875" and 5.2oz. It'll hold most WF4F lines and 50yds of 20# (it's quite a tight fit with most 5 weight lines.) The rims, pillars, handle, and counterweight are of German nickel/silver. The spool is aluminum as is the reelfoot. The screws are stainless steel, and the sideplates are Delrin. Solid enough to balance 7-7.5' cane rods, and yet not so heavy as to overload most graphites. This one is unfished and unlined. It comes with the original Velour reel pouch, black box, and even a blank warranty card. Currently RH, but can be converted. Excellent+. $1995.00.
   
   
5. Scierra CTC 3/4. I have one of these remaining. Scierra, or rather its distributor-Svendsen Sports, has decided to pull out of both the US and UK market. I suspect we'll be seeing more of this due to the world economy right now. Products and service can still be attained through their operations in Denmark. Scierra is a major player in Europe and not just in flyfishing, either. This one is 3.0"x1.0" and 4.4oz. It'll hold a WF4F and 80yds of 20#. Since it has a serious drag in a sealed clutch/drag housing, it would make a good trout reel where the trout are big and have room to run. It features their beautiful gunsmoke anodized finish. It comes with the original box, instruction sheet, and neoprene case. These were a terrific value at their retail price and are an outstanding deal at more than 30% off. It includes a SPARE SPOOL. Currently LH, but can be converted. New from inventory. $295.00.SOLD
   
   
6. Bauer LM1 with a black frame and silver spool. This simpler and lighter version of the original Bauer reel, the Mackenzie, is excellent for most trout fishing applications. 3.0"x1.0" and 4.6oz. It'll hold a WF4F and about 75yds of 20#. This one is new and comes from a former rep. It comes with the original box, instruction manual, and neoprene reelcase. RH/LH. $150.00.SOLD
   
   
7. Solitude 2. This is the new reel from Edco in Washington. They have made the whole reel a lot "tighter" by cleaning up some tolerances. They have also made it convertible from RH to LH. 3.00"x0.82" and 5.75oz. It'll hold a WF6F and 100yds of 20#. It would make a terrific trout, warmwater, or light saltwater reel. It has a serious disc drag AND an outgoing click. It comes in a box with paperwork and a neoprene reelcase. This is brand new and hasn't even been lined. It features a satiny black anodized finish. Currently LH, but can be converted (although I'm not sure the outgoing click can be reversed.) New. $195.00.SOLD
   
   
8. Bellinger/Saracione Boxed Trout set. The complete set of five trout reels in a very low serial number and featuring the gorgeous wooden display box. The reels are 2.5", 2.75", 3.0" , and 3.25" in both a Narrow and a Wide version. They range from a 2 weight up to a 7 weight in capacity. The pillars, sidebands, and some trim are German nickel/silver, the sideplates are Delrin, the spool is aluminum and bronze, and most other parts, including the screws are stainless. I don't recall ever seeing this complete set available on the secondary market. The wooden box is like a piece of furniture, and there is even a blank warranty card! These are set up for RH currently, but can be converted. $9995.00.
   
   
9. Hardy "The Lightweight." This one features a two screw spool latch, has no separate lineguard, and has a solid spool. 3.2"x0.75" and 3.8oz. It'll hold a DT5F and 50yds of backing. A perfect trout reel for a 4 or 5 weight rod. These British made reels are becoming more sought after by Hardy aficionados as Hardy gradually moves production from the UK to Asia. This one works perfectly mechanically, but shows the normal edgewear around the frame. I would rate the cosmetic condition as VG. It does not have a reelcase or box included. Currently set up for RH, but is easily changed. $295.00.
   
   
10. Saracione Deluxe II Limited Edition Boxed Set. Several years before Joe Saracione launched the actual Deluxe II trout reel, he did a limited run of each of the six sizes (10 of each for a total run of sixty reels.) They were boxed in a beautiful walnut display box that was like a piece of furniture. The Deluxe II reels were essentially the same as the original Deluxe models but featured hard rubber Ebonite sideplates and German nickel/silver rims, handle, counterblanace and trim. Most of these sets were gobbled up by dealers. This set includes the 2.75", 3", and 3.25" Deluxe II reels in the standard width (1.10") and the wooden display box. All have never been lined and, fact is, have rarely been handled at all. All are set up for RH retrieve, but Joe could convert them for you. All also have matching serial numbers. As new...$6995.00.SOLD
    
    
11. Caperlan Decathlon Fly 300. It's not too often I get a reel in here I've never heard of at all. Well, here's one. 3.15"x0.875" and 5.8oz. I'd guess it will hold a WF 5 line and about 100yds of 20#. It features rim control, quick release spool, and a canted forward foot design. It has an adjustable gear and pawl "drag." While not in the class of many of the high-end precision reels I feature, there's no reason this one won't provide some fine fishing use for 5/6/7 weight class fish. The finish reminds me of the epoxy finish that the original Scientific Anglers System II reels had years ago. It is not an anodizing, but appears to be well done. It has a couple of marks on it, especially around the reelfoot, but would be fairly classed as excellent. It comes with an original neoprene reelcase. It's currently set up for LH retrieve. There may be a simple way to convert it, but I haven't found it after a little checking (the canted forward foot design is the big culprit here.) $75.00.SOLD
    
    
12. Charlton 8350C with the 1/5 spool. These were less expensive than other Charlton models when they were still available new. However, far fewer of them were made than there were of the 8450C so I've seen very few of them the last year or two. I've said often that this is the finest serious trout reel ever made. In fact, it is way more trout reel than most trout fishing ever requires. However, there is some pretty intense demand for these so don't put off contacting me if you're interested. RH only (although SA will convert it for $50.00.) New in box. $1800.00.
    
    
13. Charlton 8450C with 5/6 spool. Another Charlton 8450C with what was, by far, the most popular spool for trout fishing. Maybe the finest trout reel ever. This is new, in the box. RH or LH. $1800.00.
    
    
14. Charlton 8450C with 7/8 spool. Another Charlton 8450C with what was, by far, the most popular spool for grilse, steelhead, and light saltwater fishing. Maybe the finest reel in this size range ever. This is new, in the box. RH or LH. $1800.00.
    
    
15. Charlton 8450C with all three spools (3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.) The 8450C rarely shows up with all three spools these days. This is a very scarce item that should fascinate the many Charlton collectors. The frame and 5/6 were used a couple of times, but there is no evidence of that use. The other two spools have never been lined. Of course, it’s also a terrific reel to put to use. Contains the original boxes and reel/spool pouches. Excellent+ RH or LH. $2995.00.SOLD
    
    
16. Saracione 3.875" N Deluxe Gear and Pawl. Probably the rarest gear and pawl Joe Saracione did in the original Deluxe configuration. It actually was never available through Joe. Bruce McNae was a business investor with Joe and he requested this model. In fact, he was responsible for convincing Joe to do all his Deluxe models in a Narrow version, but only ten of this size were done and Bruce acquired all of them. Since Bruce was also my distributor for the Saracione Salmo Deluxe Disc Drag Salmon reels, which were Joe's second version of the Deluxe salmon reels, I ended up buying one of these from him also. 3.875"x1.00" and 11.0oz. It has all the Deluxe features, which include stainless pillars and sidebands, German nickel/silver accents, black Delrin sideplates, and aluminum reelfoot, spoolsides, and S-handle. It comes with the Arne Mason buckle hard case that all the early Deluxe reels featured. It'll hold a WF8F and 100yds of 20#. It would make a nice single-handed reel for small steelhead, grilse, and large trout like those found in parts of Alaska, Arkansas, etc. Currently RH, but can be converted. As new-$2495.00.SOLD
    
    
17. Guideline Watergrip M. Another Guideline reel that has recently been discontinued. I was the exclusive (I think) dealer featuring this model. 3.50"x1.35" and 7.5oz. It'll hold a WF8F & 200yds of 20#. It features Guideline's pewter finish. It has a fairly powerful synthetic drag and features an ingoing click, but no outgoing. It comes with a neoprene reelcase, box, and paperwork. This is a very fine reel at this price. New, from inventory. RH, but can be converted. More than 30% off retail. $195.00.
    
    
18. Orvis SSS 7/8 Featherweight. The same reel that was also marketed as the Inks Estuary. I owned one of those before I started this business and used it for several years. It's a very well made reel made mostly from anodized aluminum, 303 stainless, and urethane rubber. The drag adjustment is on the bottom of the frame and has 5 steps from perhaps 1/2 lb to around 3 lb. In other words, there is no free spool and there's not enough top end drag to pursue tuna with it. However, for salmon, steelhead, and light saltwater fish it is a fine drag system. It comes with spare parts for the drag system and a SPARE SPOOL. 3.3"x0.95" and 5.6oz. It will hold a WF8F and 150yds of 20#. The reel has been used, but barely shows any signs of it. It comes in the original box, with the extra drag parts, and the owner's manual. Currently RH, but is easily converted. Excellent. $295.00.

Currently RH, but is easily converted. Excellent+. $225.00.
    
    
20. Scierra CTC 7/9. I have one of these remaining. Scierra, or rather its distributor-Svendsen Sports, has decided to pull out of both the US and UK market. I suspect we'll be seeing more of this due to the world economy right now. Products and service can still be attained through their operations in Denmark. Scierra is a major player in Europe and not just in flyfishing, either. This one is 3.75"x1.3" and 8.1oz. It'll hold a WF8F and 150yds of 20#. This is a perfect reel for salmon, steelhead, and light saltwater fishing. It has a sealed drag/clutch housing and a superb drag. It features their beautiful gunsmoke gray anodized finish. It comes with the original box, instruction sheet, and neoprene case. These were a terrific value at their retail price and are an outstanding deal at more than 30% off. It includes a SPARE SPOOL. Currently LH, but can be converted. New from inventory. $325.00.
    
    
21. Scierra TX2 7/9. I have one of these remaining. Scierra, or rather its distributor-Svendsen Sports, has decided to pull out of both the US and UK market. I suspect we'll be seeing more of this due to the world economy right now. Products and service can still be attained through their operations in Denmark. Scierra is a major player in Europe and not just in flyfishing, either. This one is 3.75"x1.3" and 9.0oz. It'll hold a WF8F and 150yds of 20#. This is a perfect reel for salmon, steelhead, and light saltwater fishing. It has a sealed drag/clutch housing, a superb drag, and a large dragknob that is actually the entire backplate. It features their beautiful glassy midnight blue anodized finish. It comes with the original box, instruction sheet, and neoprene case. These were a terrific value at their retail price and are an outstanding deal at more than 30% off. It includes a SPARE SPOOL. Currently LH, but can be converted. New from inventory. $375.00.SOLD
    
    
22. Inks/Saracione complete set. Dave Inks teamed up with Joe Saracione in the mid-1990s to produce a set of reels dedicated to the Seamaster Mark series of direct drive reels. They are the #1 intended for 7-8 weight lines, #2 intended for 9-10 weight lines, and #3 intended for 12+ weight lines. These are built up reels (not monobloc construction) just as most of the Seamasters were done. They have sculptured stainless pillars, oil impregnated cork disc drags, and a gorgeous gold frame, black spool anodized finish. In addition, a select few of these were done in matching serial numbered set of all three with a beautiful goatskin leather Arne Mason hard case that holds all three reels. Most serious Saracione fans believe these to be absolutely his finest reels in a modern, saltwater type reel design. I used a separate #3 quite a few times for tarpon and loved it. This set has never been lined, nor really even handled very often. They are set up for RH retrieve and it would be a process to get them converted. I believe Bill Archuleta could do it, but unless you were planning on using them I don't see why you'd bother. As new- $7500.00.SOLD
    
    
23. Saracione Skykomish Salmo Deluxe. This is from the second series of Saracione Deluxe reels and features aluminum in many places where he used stainless in the original reels. This made the reels significantly lighter and easier to use on graphite rods. 3.50"x1.0" and 9.25oz. It'll hold most WF8 or 9 lines and more than 200yds of 30#. Joe's drag system is made from cork and is far less complicated than on many of today's premium salmon reels, and yet it still features the lever drag adjustment so popular on these classic reels. This one is brand new and comes with the original box, case, even the warranty card. Currently RH, but can probably be changed over by Joe or Bill Archuleta. New. $2495.00.SOLD
    
    
24. Charlton 8500SS 0.8. Again, there is no need to go into detail on these reels. Anyone who is likely to buy it knows a lot about it already, maybe more than I do. This is the perfect size for bonefishing, most single-handed rod salmon fishing, and I even used mine on permit. LH or RH. Excellent. $2795.00.
    
    
25. H. Hart Umpqua. Do not confuse this with Ari't Hart. This reel was made in New York state, I believe, in the early to mid-1970s. It's most unique feature is that it is an anti-reverse classic styled salmon reel. 3.35"x1.2" and 10.1oz. It'll hold a WF8F & 200yds of 20#. The owner mentioned that he had used the reel a few times on the Miramichi, and I had to smile as I used it's sister on the Miramichi the first time I fished there in 1988. If you're not used to fishing AR reels, it will take you a while to adjust to it. However, if you're into AR reels for your saltwater work, here is your chance to get a classic salmon reel designed to same way. The drag knob is on the handle side which is where it belongs on an AR reel. It comes with the owner's manual and the original hard leather case. The drag is cork against Teflon and is still very smooth. The external condition of the reel is maybe VG+, but internally it is like new. RH only. $495.00.
    
    
26. Charlton 8550C with Bonefish spool. There's no reason to go into detail with this one. It is one of the most valuable and sought after saltwater reels ever. This one is unfished, in the box. LH only (although SA can convert it for $50.00). $2795.00.
    |
27. Magla LA9/10. Due to a lack of interest in them, I am no longer going to be featuring these fine reels from South Africa. They have a cork drag, rim control, and a nice semi-glossy finish. 3.875"x1.3" and 8.7 oz. It'll hold a WF9 & 225 yds of 20# which is exactly how I've had mine set up. A similar model has been my 9 weight bonefish/permit reel for the last three years or so, and I couldn't have been happier with it. It comes with a box, nylon case, and brief instructions. Due to its outgoing clicker setup it cannot be converted to RH operation. New from inventory. LH only. 25% off retail. $295.00.
    
    
28. Cortland 140D Magnum Disc Drag. An inexpensive reel that has enough capacity to use for speylines up to about 8 weight. 4.0"x0.95" and 7.7oz. It will hold a WF10F and 200yds of 20#. It has a simple and easily converted "disc" drag. It's perfect for freshwater work where high-end drag reels aren't always necessary. All black aluminum. Brand new in the box. RH or LH. $75.00.
    
    
29. Charlton 8500SS 1.2. No need to go into detail on this one. Perhaps the most coveted permit reel ever and highly sought after for Atlantic salmon, steelhead, and similar fish. This one has a tiny nick on the inside of the frame and the tiniest amount of boat rash on the bottom. Believe me, you have to hold it up to the light just right to even notice the boat rash. It comes with the original Cordura case. Currently RH, but SA can convert it. $2895.00.
    
    
30. Guideline Watergrip L. This reel has not received much distribution in the United States, but it is quite a nice reel. This is my own personal model which I used for Atlantic salmon. 3.95"x1.375" and 8oz. It'll hold a WWF8/9/10 Windcutter short belly speyline (and similar lines) and 150yds of 30#. It features Guideline's pewter finish. It has a fairly powerful synthetic drag and features an ingoing click, but no outgoing. It comes with the original neoprene reelcase, box, and paperwork. Although I have used the reel some, there is only the slightest mark on the reelfoot to show it's been handled. This is a very fine reel at this price. RH, but can be converted. $195.00.
    
    
31. Guideline Watergrip L. Another Guideline reel that has recently been discontinued. I was the exclusive (I think) dealer featuring this model. 3.95"x1.375" and 8oz. It'll hold a WWF8/9/10 Windcutter short belly speyline (and similar lines) and 150yds of 30#. It features Guideline's pewter finish. It has a fairly powerful synthetic drag and features an ingoing click, but no outgoing. It comes with a neoprene reelcase, box, and paperwork. It also comes with a SPARE SPOOL. The reel features an easy pop-off spool release system. This is a very fine reel at this price. New, from inventory. RH, but can be converted. More than 40% off retail. $295.00.
    
    
32. Guideline Watergrip L. Another Guideline reel that has recently been discontinued. I was the exclusive (I think) dealer featuring this model. 3.95"x1.375" and 8oz. It'll hold a WWF8/9/10 Windcutter short belly speyline (and similar lines) and 150yds of 30#. It features Guideline's pewter finish. It has a fairly powerful synthetic drag and features an ingoing click, but no outgoing. It comes with a neoprene reelcase, box, and paperwork. This is a very fine reel at this price. New, from inventory. RH, but can be converted. More than 30% off retail. $225.00.
    
    
33. HarrisonSW Los Roques. Felton Harrison was the first person to use titanium in a commercially available fly reel that I know of. It's not the frame or spool that's titanium. It's the pawl, spindle, and a few other small parts that normally would be of much heavier stainless steel. I believe that only about 104 reels were ever sold with the HarrisonSW name. They were available in four sizes and in both direct drive and anti-reverse. This one is direct drive. Suffice it to say that all the models are quite scarce. 3.7"x1.3" and 9.4oz. It will hold a WF9F and 250yds of 30# backing. It features beautiful gold anodizing with a large impregnated wood handle. The drag knob is on the handle side. I doubt very many of these have ever been used, and this one appears to have never been on a rod or been lined. These have been seriously sought after by collectors, especially in this condition. It could, of course, make someone a nice bonefish reel or be used for stripers, perhaps. Excellent+. LH only. $995.00.
    
    
34. Solitude 5. This is the new reel from Edco in Washington. They have made the whole reel a lot "tighter" by cleaning up some tolerances. They have also made it convertible from RH to LH. 3.85"x1.00" and 7.75oz. It'll hold a WF10F and 250yds of 30#. It would make a terrific salmon/steelhead/spey reel as well as being very useful for saltwater fishing. It has a serious disc drag, but no outgoing click. This is brand new and hasn't even been lined. It features a satiny platinum anodized finish and a neoprene reelcase. Currently RH, but can be converted. New. $250.00.
    
    
35. Saracione Dean Salmo Deluxe. This is from the second series of Saracione Deluxe reels and features aluminum in many places where he used stainless in the original reels. This made the reels significantly lighter and easier to use on graphite rods. 3.75"x1.00" ands 9.75oz. It hold an 7/8/9 shorthead spey line and 150yds of 30#. Joe's drag system is made from cork and is far less complicated than on many of today's premium salmon reels, and yet it still features the lever drag adjustment so popular on these classic reels. This one is brand new and comes with the original box, case, even the warranty card. Currently RH, but can probably be changed over by Joe or Bill Archuleta. New. $2495.00.SOLD
    
    
36. Scierra CTC 9/11. I have one of these remaining. Scierra, or rather its distributor-Svendsen Sports, has decided to pull out of both the US and UK market. I suspect we'll be seeing more of this due to the world economy right now. Products and service can still be attained through their operations in Denmark. Scierra is a major player in Europe and not just in flyfishing, either. This one is 4.50"x1.35" and 10.3oz. It'll hold a WF10F and 200yds of 30#. This is a perfect reel for speyfishing with 7/8/9 lines, as well as permit, light tarpon, and stripers. It has a sealed drag/clutch housing and a superb drag. It features their beautiful gunsmoke anodized finish. It comes with the original box, instruction sheet, and neoprene case. These were a terrific value at their retail price and are an outstanding deal at more than 30% off. It includes a SPARE SPOOL. Currently LH, but can be converted. New from inventory. $350.00.SOLD
    
    
37. Scierra TX2 9/11. I have two of these remaining. Scierra, or rather its distributor-Svendsen Sports, has decided to pull out of both the US and UK market. I suspect we'll be seeing more of this due to the world economy right now. Products and service can still be attained through their operations in Denmark. Scierra is a major player in Europe and not just in flyfishing, either. This one is 4.5"x1.35" and 11.4oz. It'll hold a WF10F and 200yds of 30#. This is a perfect reel for speyfishing with 7/8/9 lines, as well as permit, light tarpon, and stripers. It has a sealed drag/clutch housing, a superb drag, and the large drag knob is actually the entire backplate. It features their beautiful glossy midnight blue anodized finish. It comes with the original box, instruction sheet, and neoprene case. These were a terrific value at their retail price and are an outstanding deal at more than 30% off. It includes a SPARE SPOOL. Currently LH, but can be converted. New from inventory. $395.00.SOLD
    
    
38. Fin Nor Wedding Cake #3. The original Fin Nor fly reel. It's been highly sought after by collectors for many years. 4.0"x1.0" and 12.6oz. It hold a WF11F and 225yds of 30#. This would make a superb permit reel and this size has often been used with a 10 or 11 weight line for tarpon. The cork drag is still butter-smooth. It has no outgoing click nor rim control. It has the standard light gold anodizing and comes with the original imitation leather case. This one is RH only. Most of these that I come across have been heavily used and usually show it. This one has definitely been used, but shows only a couple of minor battle scars. I would rate it as Excellent--. $1295.00.
    
    
39. Charlton 8550C with Tarpon spool. There's no reason to go into detail with this one. It is one of the most valuable and sought after saltwater reels ever. This one is unfished, in the box. LH or RH $2995.00.
    
    
40. HarrisonSW Archangel AR. Felton Harrison was the first person to use titanium in a commercially available fly reel that I know of. It's not the frame or spool that's titanium. It's the pawl, spindle, handle and a few other small parts that normally would be of much heavier stainless steel. I believe that only about 104 reels were ever sold with the HarrisonSW name. They were available in four sizes and in both direct drive and anti-reverse. This one is anti-reverse. Suffice it to say that all the models are quite scarce. 3.95"x1.475" and 10.4oz. It will hold a WF12F and 350+yds of 30# backing. It features beautiful gold anodizing with a large impregnated wood handle. The drag knob is on the handle side. This one has seen some use of the years. The frame is in excellent condition, but the arbor area of the spool has some minor corrosion that has been nicely buffed out. These have been seriously sought after by collectors. It could, of course, make someone a nice tarpon or sailfish reel or it could be used as a lightweight, large capacity speyreel, perhaps. It comes in a non-original reelpouch and the owner's manual. Excellent(except as noted.) RH only. $995.00.
    
    
41. Shilton SL8. One of the premier pelagic reels available. 4.95"x1.35" and 14.9oz. It'll carry a typical shooting head system with running line and way over 500yds of 30#. It would also make a terrific spey reel except it has no outgoing click which it seems most salmon/steelhead fishermen strongly prefer. This one has the glossy black finish and comes with the original nylon case with recommended drag lubricant, box and instruction sheet. The owner says it's been lined but never fished and that's the way it appears to me. Currently RH, but can be converted. Current retail on these is $650.00. Excellent+. $495.00.SOLD
    
    
42. Charlton 8550C with the Offshore spool. One of the Charlton models that are in the highest demand. This one is in excellent condition, although it has been used once or twice. It comes with the cordura Charlton reelcase, but no box or papers. It has the original owner's name on the signature plate (drag knob.) Currently LH, but can be switched by SA for $50.00. Excellent.. $3500.00.
    
    
43. Henschel #5 titanium Dual-mode. One of the rarest reels available, and I actually have two identical models. These are machined from titanium and only five of them have been made to this point. 4.75"x1.05" and 22oz. It'll hold enough line for almost any type of fishing, including large tuna. I have the identical reel and it is almost all I ever use when fishing for pelagic species. On it I have various shooting heads, followed by 100' of 0.30" running line, then about 350yds of PowerPro Gel spun backing, followed by about 200yds of 30# Scientific Anglers white backing. The Henschel dual-mode is friction based so there is no clunking or other noise from cams being only partly engaged. As titanium is very difficult to mar the finish is near perfect. Since all titanium Henschel reels are essentially made-to-order, the owner requested that there not be any additional engraving on these reels. Karl-Heinz couldn't give me a current price that would be charged if one of these were ordered new today, but I'd guess that somewhere between $9K and $10K would be close. These are set up for LH and due to their value would be very expensive to return to Germany to have them converted. So figure LH only. NEW LOWER PRICE-$8000.00 for the pair or $4995.00 each.
    
    
44. Henschel #5 titanium Dual-mode. One of the rarest reels available. These are machined from titanium and only five of them have been made to this point. 4.75"x1.05" and 22oz. It'll hold enough line for almost any type of fishing, including large tuna. This has held various shooting heads, followed by 100' of 0.30" running line, then about 350yds of PowerPro Gel spun backing, followed by about 200yds of 30# Scientific Anglers white backing. The Henschel dual-mode is friction based so there is no clunking or other noise from cams being only partly engaged. The Henschel drag is one of the finest available in any reel. As titanium is very difficult to mar the finish is near perfect. Karl-Heinz couldn't give me a current price that would be charged if one of these were ordered new today, but I'd guess that somewhere between $9K and $10K would be close. This one is set up for RH and due to its value would be very expensive to return to Germany to have it converted. So figure RH only. NEW LOWER PRICE-$4995.00.
    
    
    

MISC. GEAR FOR SALE

45. Winston 8'9" 3 weight LT5 (5 piece.) The LT5 series is still current, although they no longer make this gorgeous three weight in this length. It features Winston's beautiful nickel/silver sliding band downlocking reelseat with a wood insert that I believe is maple. It comes with the original rod sock and aluminum tube. The cork shows slight soiling from moderate use, but the blank is perfect. It is marked as a guide rod so there would likely be no warranty on it. Excellent. $395.00.
    
    
46. Thomas & Thomas Helix HE864-4. A terrific rod for those who don't want an ultra-stiff action stick for trout fishing. 8'6"/4weight/and 4 piece. This is a sample rod from a former rep that has never been fished and comes with the original rodsock and aluminum tube. A great buy for $450.00.
    
    
47. Thomas & Thomas Horizon2 HII 904-4. This is an exceptionally light, fairly fast and stiff trout rod. 9'/4 weight/and 4 piece. It's designed to fish the big rivers of the west as well as rivers like the Delaware and the White River in Arkansas. Will easily handle most 5 weight lines. This is brand new from a former rep and has the original rodsock and aluminum tube. A superb rod for $450.00.
    
    
48. Winston 8'9" 5 weight LT5 (5 piece.) This LT5 model is still current and very popular. It features Winston's beautiful nickel/silver uplocking reelseat with a wood insert that I believe is maple. It comes with the original rod sock and aluminum tube. The cork shows slight soiling from moderate use, but the blank is perfect. It is marked as a guide rod so there would likely be no warranty on it. Excellent. $395.00.
    
    
49. Winston 10' 7 weight BL5 Saltwater (5 piece) The BL5 series is no longer made. It was the first generation of Winston rods made from a boron/graphite mix. I had a bunch of these is the 9 foot length and didn't much care for them as the tips were too soft. However, this rod, when used for salmon, steelhead, and for warmwater fish from a float tube, casts quite nicely. It is considered a saltwater model due to the black anodized reelseat and short extension butt more than anything else. For years it's been my dryfly rod for Atlantic salmon fishing and it served that purpose well. I've now found a Beulah that I like and since I sell Beulah rods I'm replacing this one. The cork shows some soiling from moderate use, but the blank is perfect. It comes with the original Winston rodsock and aluminum tube. It has my name on it as it was purchased through a "pro plan" so there probably won't be any warranty on it. Excellent. $295.00.
    
    
50. Scierra Bluewater BW2 Striped Bass. 9' for 9 weight and four pieces. Scierra is quite well known for their double-handed Scandinavian rods, but I got a chance to cast one of these and really liked it. I purchased one for my own use and never got it out of the tube to lawn cast it. This is a powerful rod without being ridiculously stiff. It'll cast both a 9 and 10 weight line quite nicely. This is new, from inventory, with the original bag and tube. It retailed for $400.00. Now...$250.00.SOLD
    
    
51. Scierra Bluewater BW2 Sabalo. This one is 8' 8" for 9 weight and four pieces. Scierra is quite well known for their double-handed Scandinavian rods, but I got a chance to cast one of these and really liked it, and was certainly intrigued by it being four inches shorter than most saltwater rods. I purchased one for my own use and never got it out of the tube to lawn cast it. This is a powerful rod without being ridiculously stiff. It'll cast both a 9 and 10 weight line quite nicely. This is new, from inventory, with the original bag and tube. It retailed for $400.00. Now...$250.00.SOLD
    
    
52. Winston 9' 10 weight XTR/5 (5 piece) Perhaps the fastest and stiffest rods Winston has ever done. They really work best when throwing heavy sinking shooting heads or lines like the Teeny 400 or 500gr integrated heads. If throwing a floating line for flats' work I'd upline by at least one line weight. Once you get used to these it's amazing how much line they'll throw. 5 pieces makes for easy stowing. I've used this rod with an 11 weight line for tarpon and really like it for that purpose. The cork shows slight soiling due to moderate use but the blank is excellent+. These are no longer available, but still seem to be in some demand. It comes with the original rodsock and aluminum tube. It has my name on it as it was purchased through a "pro plan" so there probably won't be any warranty on it. Excellent. $325.00.
    
    
53. Winston 9' 12 weight XTR/5 (5 piece) Perhaps the fastest and stiffest rods Winston has ever done. They really work best when throwing heavy sinking shooting heads or lines like the Teeny 550, 650, or 750gr integrated heads. If throwing a floating line for flats' work I'd upline by at least one line weight. Once you get used to these it's amazing how much line they'll throw. 5 pieces makes for easy stowing. I've used this rod with an 13 weight line for tarpon and really like it for that purpose. The cork shows slight soiling due to moderate use but the blank is excellent+. These are no longer available, but still seem to be in some demand. It comes with the original rodsock and aluminum tube. It has my name on it as it was purchased through a "pro plan" so there probably won't be any warranty on it. Excellent. $325.00.
    
    
54. Winston 11' 7 weight Boron IIx (4 piece.) This is still a current rod and quite popular. Although Winston doesn't refer to it as such, it is what is known as a switch rod. That simply means it can be cast two-handed as there is a long enough rear grip to do so yet the rod is light enough in the hand to single-hand cast as well. Use 7 or 8 weight lines designed for single-handed rods or "spey" lines designed for 5/6 weight speyrods to load this rod effectively. We'll talk about what works if you buy it and wish some guidance. It features an uplocking aluminum reelseat with a Winston green graphite insert. The cork shows slight soiling from a very modest amount of use, and the blank is perfect. It comes with the original Winston rodsock and aluminum tube. It has my name on it as it was purchased through a "pro plan" so there probably won't be any warranty on it. Excellent+. $450.00.
    
    
55. Sage 9140-4 Graphite IIIe "Greenie." Perhaps Sage's most popular speyrod (in the brown blank version) converted into a rod with slightly higher modulus graphite. It'll throw everything from Skagit heads to a GrandSpey and do it almost effortlessly. Being four pieces makes it easy to travel with it. It's received some use, but has not been abused at all. It comes with the original Sage green rod sock, but no tube. NEW LOWER PRICE! $250.00.SOLD
    
    
56. Scierra HMS V.II Salmon. 14'3" for 9/10 weight Scandinavian heads. This is probably the one item that North American fishermen looked forward to the most when it became known that Scierra was going to enter the North American market. The four rods in this series were designed by Henrik Mortensen and have a virtual fanatic following. This has been lawn cast one time only. It would have been fished this past autumn for steelhead except that word came down that Scierra was pulling out of North America. Therefore it has never been fished and the cork doesn't even show signs of it having been lawncast. Match this up with a Guideline PowerTaper head, or one by any of the several companies now making Scando heads and you won't believe how easily this thing will cast a fly into the next area code. These also cast wonderfully with other types of speylines. Comes with the original bag and tube and is Excellent+ (really mint). It retailed for $600.00. Now... $425.00.SOLD

59. Forgotten Flies. The famous book by Paul Schmookler and published by Complete Sportsman. This is the first edition, and I've seen it priced everywhere from $400.00 for a used book in "good" condition up to prices approaching $1200.00. This is in "unread" condition. $450.00.
    
    
60. Vosseler Pro Fly Tying Vise. This is the vise that won a "Best New Product" award at the Fly Fishing Retailer Show a few years ago. It has a unique appearance, but is quite easy with which to tie. It features a suction cup base so that the vise can be secured almost anywhere. Once secured, it can be rotated from 5 different axis points. It also features a unique and patented jaw mechanism. This vise is brand new from my inventory, and I'm offering it with the additional optional midge head. The price is more than 25% off of retail. New. $250.00. Midge head has sold. Vise only...$195.00.
    
    
    RECENT ARRIVALS-These will have photos available when I get a chance to get them done.
    
    
61. Charlton 8350C with the 1/5 spool. These were less expensive than other Charlton models when they were still available new. However, far fewer of them were made than there were of the 8450C so I've seen very few of them the last year or two. I've said often that this is the finest serious trout reel ever made. In fact, it is way more trout reel than most trout fishing ever requires. However, there is some pretty intense demand for these so don't put off contacting me if you're interested. LH only (although SA will convert it for $50.00.) This ones shows very slight evidence of use. Excellent+ $1600.00.
    
    
62. Winston 9' 12 weight BL5 Saltwater (5 piece.) This is Winston's first effort at combining graphite and boron. Most of us who used this rod series tended to underline it. I used an 11 weight on this model, a 9 weight on the one designated a 10, etc. The owner of this one said he actually fished it with a 10 more often than anything else. If underlined, it actually casts quite crisply and the boron in the butt makes it a superb fish fighting tool. It is in near new condition with all the paperwork (including a blank warranty card), the original rodsock and gorgeous Winston rod tube. It is inscribed with the previous owner's name and a short dedication so I'm not sure a working warranty would exist. The cork shows the normal slight soiling from minimal use, but the blank appears to be perfect. I would think this would make an exellent striper rod with a 10 weight sinking line or shooting head. It also casts close in better than many of the mega-fast rods out today so firing short, accurate casts to snook or tarpon in the mangroves would be right up its alley. Excellent+. $350.00.
    
    
63. Lamson Litespeed 3.0. This fine reel from the WaterWorks people features a fully sealed drag/clutch and a conical drag system. 3.75"x1.25" and 6.0oz. It'll hold a WF7F and 150yds of 20#. This one features the Guide finish and comes with 2 SPARE SPOOsL. Both the reel and the two spools have the original neoprene cases, boxes, and reel has the instruction book. The only marks on it are a couple of very slight ones on the reelfoot. Currently RH, but can easily be converted. Excellent. $325.00.SOLD
    
    
64. Lamson Litespeed 3.5. This fine reel from the WaterWorks people features a fulled sealed drag/clutch and a conical drag system. 4.0"x1.38" and 6.5oz. It'll hold a WF9F and 200yds of 20#. This one features the Guide finish and comes with 3 SPARE SPOOLS. The reel and all three spools have the original neoprene reelcases, boxes, and the reel has the instruction book. It shows slight wear marks on the reelfoot and drag knob, but is still in excellent condition. Currently LH, but can easily be converted. Excellent. $425.00.SOLD
    
    
65. Bauer MX6 Extreme. This is the largest and beefiest reel available from Bauer. It's the one Bauer I'd choose for tarpon and pelagic fishing. 4.5"x1.25" and 9.4oz. It'll hold a WF12F and 450yds of 30#! It'll also hold a Rio Windcutter Spey 9/10/11 and 200yds of 30#. It features a massive cork drag and is one of the few Bauer models that have the drag knob on the backplate. It's silent on the ingo and has a pleasant click on the outgo. This one is solid black and comes with a SPARE SPOOL. The only marks I can find are couple of very minor ones on the reelfoot. The reel has the original neoprene reelcase and box and the spool has the original nylon pouch and box. Currently RH, but can be converted. Excellent. $550.00.SOLD
    
    
66. Tibor Billy Pate Salmon DD. These direct drive models are no longer being made, but were very highly thought of by most when they were. 3.60"x0.75" and 7.9oz. It'll hold a WF8F and 200yds of 20# (barely) and was used by many for bonefish until the actual Bonefish model was introduced a few years later. The Pates were the first high-end saltwater reels that were readily available. It is preferred by many anglers due to its use of bushings rather than bearings. Though not quite as silky smooth as a good bearing reel (like its sister the Tibor) but bushings just don't fail and rarely tend to be affected by saltwater intrusion. In other words, if you're heading to Belize for a couple of weeks, a bushing reel is less likely to give you problems during that time. This one appears to be unused with not even the reelfoot showing any signs of having been installed on a reelseat. The frame is gold and the spool is black and ventilated. It comes with a SPARE SPOOL. Currently RH, it would need to be returned to Tibor to be converted. It comes with the beautiful neoprene reelcase, box, and access tool. Excellent+ $450.00.SOLD
    
    
67. Tibor Billy Pate Trout AR. Though no longer available, these were surprisingly well thought of when they were current. Tibor managed to create a trout reel with anti-reverse AND a big game type drag system and still managed to keep the weight within reason. 3.05"x0.80" and 6.3. It'll hold a WF6F and 150yds of 20# (barely.) For fun, one could use this as a 6 or 7 weight bonefish reel by using 250yds of 50# GSP. It appears to be unused and shows no evidence of having even been lined. It comes with the beautiful Pate neoprene reelcase, access tool, and its box. Currently set up for LH, it would need need to be returned to Tibor for conversion. Excellent+. $350.00.SOLD
    
    
68. Orvis CFO III Disc. One of the early CFO Disc reels as this one was made in England. The original CFO, designed by Stan Bogdan and made by Hardy is one of the most revered trout reels ever. Over the years the Orvis folks have switched to a fully machined reel and then converted to a disc drag instead of the simple gear and pawl of the originals. Nevertheless, it's a fine reel and simply looks classy on any rod. 3.00"x0.70" and 3.9oz. It'll hold a WF5F and 50yds of 20#. I'm not sure what color Orivs used for this as it doesn't appear in recent catalogs, but I would describe it as a deep spruce green. It comes with a SPARE SPOOL. It shows some wear on the reelfoot and the edges of the frame and spool. Visually I would have to rate it as Very Good+ but it works perfectly and the inside was very clean when it arrived. It comes with the very attractive zippered reelcase and the spool has a cotton pouch. Currently RH, but can be converted. $150.00.SOLD
    
    
69. Sage Xi2 1090-4. A 9' 10 weight four-piece rod that is often the rod that others are compared to for saltwater fishing and for fish like muskies and giant northern pike in Canada and Alaska. This is the current model from Sage. The cork shows slight soiling from use but the blank and reelseat appear perfect. It comes with the original rodsock and aluminum tube. Offered at a terrific savings over new. Excellent. $395.00.
    
    
70. Sage Xi2 1290-4. A 9' 12 weight four-piece rod that is often the rod that others are compared to for saltwater fishing. This is the current model from Sage and does NOT have the optional foregrip. The cork shows slight soiling from use but the blank and reelseat appear perfect. It comes with the original rodsock and aluminum tube. Offered at a terrific savings over new. Excellent. $425.00.
    
    
71. GLoomis Cross Current GLX 9' 12 weight 4 piece. This is one serious rod. Although this belongs to a customer and not me, it is the exact same rod that I use as my number 1 tarpon stick. It casts phenominally well and fights a fish better than some of the other well known 12 weights. The cork shows very minimal soiling, but the blank and reelseat appear perfect. It comes with the original rodsock and Loomis tube. Offered at a terrific savings over new. Unlike most other rod companies, the Expediter warranty that Loomis offers is available to anyone who owns the rod, and it's the best warranty on the market, in my opinion. Excellent. $450.00. SOLD
    
    
72. Thomas & Thomas Vector VE8612S. This is an 8'6" 12 weight 3 piece. For those who think that most 12 weight rods border on being broomsticks, this is for you. Not soft really, but it does flex down well into the blank. The graphite itself is fairly high modulus so it's not a sluggish rod, just one that'll do more of the work for you. Having it be 8 1/2' was genius as it improves the way it handles the fight without affecting casting in a negative way. This particular Vector rod hasn't been current since 2003, but at that time its retail price exceeded that of the Horizon and Helix series. It has the beautiful titanium anodzied reelseat and top notch oversized guides, with three strippers that have a titanium/nitrate insert. I've always thought that Thomas & Thomas and Winston put the most effort into appointing their rods with the best reelseats, guides, and quality cork to make their rods truly stunning, and this rod is an example of that. It has a little soiling on the cork that shows it's had a little use, but the blank and reelseat are perfect. Excellent. $450.00.
    
    
73. Powell Tiboron II 1008-4. This one is a 10' 8 weight rod in 4 pieces. Though Powell hasn't been a major factor in the rod business the last few years, most guys who fish them love them. As this is a rod I wasn't familiar with I took it out on the front lawn with a Rio Clouser line. Man, it casts nicely, and is fast enough to be a bonefish rod for guys who wadefish and prefer a slightly longer rod. A lot of 10 footers don't have that crisp action that most flats fishers prefer, but this one clearly does. It would also make a nice steelhead rod, or could be used for Atlantic salmon where the rivers are small enough to not warrant a double-hander, but where a 9 footer might not be enough. I gotta tell you , I liked it enough I almost bought it as I don't have a single 10' rod in my arsenal any longer. Even the cork on this one makes me believe it might have been lawncast, but probably never fished. The blank and graphite reelseat are perfect. Excellent+. What a steal at $295.00.SOLD
    
    
74. DB Dunn Doublerod travel case. This is for rods that are 9' and 3-piece although it'll work with rods that are shorter. There's room for two fully rigged rods with reels and line. A super safe way to travel with your rod and still have it instantly handy when you arrive. I use several of them in my car when I drive to go fishing. The rod tubes are made of hard PVC and are lined with smooth nylon with a soft nylon divider in the center. The outside is Cordura and the rod tips are protected with foam cushioning. It has both a handle and a hanging loop. Maximum size of each reel is 4"x2". It appears to be unused and is a very light grey color. Excellent+. $30.00.SOLD
    
    
75. Charlton 8550C with Offshore Spool. This one is new in an unopened box. Certainly one of the most sought after of all the Signature Series reels. Currently LH, but can be converted by Scientific Anglers. NEW--$4500.00.
    
    
76. Charlton 8550C with both the Tarpon and the Bonefish spools. This one comes with the two most popular spools. Does not show any evidence of use. Comes only with the reelcases, no box included. Currently RH, but can be converted by Scientific Anglers. Excellent+ $3995.00.SOLD
    
    
77. Charlton 8450C with all three spools (3/4, 5/6, and 7/8.) This one rarely shows up with all three spools. It shows just very minimal use, but still would have to be rated as excellent. It has reel cases, but no boxes. RH/LH. $2695.00.SOLD
    
    
78. Penn International 2.5G. A reel that was very highly thought of when it was current back in the middle to late '90s. A little heavy by today's standards but very rugged and has a superb drag. 3.35"x1.25" and 10oz. It'll hold a WF9F and 250yds of 20#. It has a little bit of boatrash on the bottom of the reel, but everything else looks great. Extremely smooth operation. Comes with original zippered case. RH. Excellent. $250.00.
    
    
79. TFO Hayden #2. What may be the best value in a tarpon/pelgic reel. These things are wonderfully designed and built with a double pawl design, large cork disc drag and Type III hard anodizing. I simply have too many tarpon reels and have decided to part with this one. It was used to land one tarpon and to battle another and worked flawlessly. 4.0"x1.4" and 12.6oz. It'll hold a WF12F and 250yds of 30#. It comes with the original box and paperwork, including a blank warranty card.. These are a terrific buy at the $425.00 retail price. Currently RH, but can be converted. This one is indistinguishable from new and is a steal at $295.00.SOLD
    
    
80. Gilmore X425 with one standard arbor spool and one large arbor spool. This is a unique design that allows one to convert a reel from anti-reverse to direct drive with a conversion kit (included) that takes less than a minute to do. Use it with the large arbor spool set up for direct drive with a WF8 or 9 for bonefish. Next trip, replace the spool with the standard arbor and convert it to anti-reverse and pursue tarpon with a 12 weight line. Conversion from LH to RH is very simple and due to the spool design doesn't ever require stripping the line off and reversing it. You simply flop the spool over on the spindle. 4.0"x1.325" and 11.0oz. The standard arbor spool holds a WF12F & 280yds of 30#. The large arbor holds a WF10F and 200yds of 30#. This reel has received a bit of use and has some boat rash on the bottom and a few other minor marks. It is still in very nice condition though. It comes with the original neoprene reelcase, very sturdy box, both spools, and the conversion kit that's worth $200.00 by itself. Excellent--. RH/LH. $495.00.
    
    
81. GLoomis Cross Current GLX 9' 11 weight 4 piece. This is one serious rod. I've used it the last couple of years for tarpon, but I currently have more tarpon rods than I need. It casts phenominally well and fights a fish better than some of the well known 12 weights. In fact, I use a 12 weight line on it and love it set up that way. The cork shows very minimal soiling, but the blank and reelseat appear perfect. It comes with the original rodsock and Loomis tube. Offered at a terrific savings over new. Unlike most other rod companies, the Expediter warranty that Loomis offers is available to anyone who owns the rod, and it's the best warranty on the market, in my opinion. Excellent. $450.00.SOLD
    
    
82. Sievert 200 Dual-mode. Other than the Henschel Dual-modes, I think the Sieverts were the best ever done. During the switch from direct drive to anti-reverse it truly sealmess and there's no need to reposition the handle to keep the reel from clunking. Only about one hundred of these were ever made and most owners have been very pleased with their purchase. 3.6"x0.9" and 10.6oz. It'll hold a WF9F&225yds of 20#. A perfect bonefish or permit reel; it'll serve for lots of other uses, too. In fact, it was originally designed to be a steelhead and salmon reel. It has rim control, a well designed caliper drag system and black anodizing. It comes in the original zip-lock bag with the suede zipper case, owner's manual and even a blank warranty card is included. The last retail price on these was $750.00. This one is unused and in Excellent+ condition. LH only (it cannot be converted.) $595.00.SOLD
    
    
83. Maurice Noel SA200TD. Arguably, the finest salmon reels currently being made. The frame is all titanium and the sideplates are Delrin. 3.25"x1.25" and 9.5oz. It will hold a WF9F and 225yds of 20#. I've had it filled with a Rio Atlantic Salmon line (with a 60+ foot head) and about 250yds of 20#. A fine single-handed salmon reel it would also handle very light double-handed lines---especially those designed for switch rods. It's very close to the same size as a Bogdan 0, but quite a bit lighter. These are now $3125.00 new and the wait can be six months or more. This one has been lined but never used so is in Excellent+ condition. It comes with the original reelcase and paperwork. RH only. It would need to be returned to Maurice for conversion, and I doubt that would be inexpensive. $2495.00.
    
    
84. Bellinger 4.5 Classic Gear and Pawl. Speyfishers have been asking for classically styled reels (black sideplates with silver frames and an S-handle) that have only a gear and pawl and not a sophisticated drag. There are now several such reels on the market, and I'm happy to say my efforts led to a couple of them. The Bellinger is a true gear and pawl with a significantly stronger spring tension on the outgo than the ingo. It is also large enough to handle almost any speyline would could choose to put on it. 4.45"x1.45" and 13.1oz. It'll hold a WWF 10/11/12 speyline, such as a Rio Windcutter, and 200yds of 30#. That means if you use a Scando head and running line it'll hold more backing than you'd ever need. The 4 1/2" diameter means there's great retrieve ratio for fighting fish. This one has been used a couple of times and has a slight bit a boat rash on the bottom. The rest of the reel looks new as I think it was only placed on a rod one time for a multi-day trip. Bellinger Classic reels feature non-anodized aluminum frames, spools, handle, and reelfoot with Delrin sideplates. Save a chunk of money on this one. Excellent. Currently RH, but can be converted by the Bellinger folks. $750.00.SOLD
    
    
85. Bo Mohlin Mini-trout setup. This is a very unique rod and reel combo. I've had it for several years and have always wanted to actually use it, but I've been unable to bring myself to do so. The reel is 2.45"x0.8" and 3.9oz while loaded with a WF1F line and about 40yds of backing. It would probably weigh under 3oz empty. The critical thing is that the reelfoot is only 1.5" long so the reel won't work on many rods. Therefore it comes with its own graphite rod with a handle and reelfoot sized to match the reel. I've lined it with a one weight and it casts fine on the lawn. I'm quite sure it would also handle a two or three weight line, it's just that capacity of the reel starts to become an issue. It is a classically styled black and silver S-handled reel. The rod has been put up by Bo and signed by him. The rod is just shy of six feet long and has gorgeous cork and a locking reelseat with what looks to be maple insert. The reel comes with a small version of the Mohlin hard leather reelcase. The rod has an inexpensive plastic tod tube and a rod sock made by Bo. I'll include the line and backing with it. I have no idea what something like this might be worth. I'm not sure but that the reel alone isn't worth quite a bit. The reel's been on the rod one time so I could lawncast it, otherwise everything is as I received it from Bo several years ago. The reel is currently set up for RH, but I'm sure it could be converted. Excellent+. $995.00. SOLD
    
    
86. Bellinger/Saracione Nickel/silver Salmon Reel Set of 3. Very few of these were made and they were never offered to dealers except at retail. This is the Saracione Deluxe Disc Drag Salmon reel design done in nickel/silver with the Bellinger/Saracione name on it. All three reels have matching serial numbers, the original velveteen reelcases, boxes, and warranty cards. The Saracione disc drag featured an actual cork disc drag controlled by a 9 position lever on the backplate. The small reel is 3.5"x0.9" and is 11.4oz. It'll hold a WF8F and 200yds of 30#. The middle reel is 3.7"x0.9" and is 12.2oz. It'll hold a WF9F and 250yds of 30#. It would also hold a shorthead spey in the 6/7/8 range and adequate backing. The large one is 3.95"x1.16" and is 13.3oz. It'll hold a WWF 10/11 shortbelly spey and 250yds of 30# or a WWF 10/11Power Spey and 200yds of 30#. It would also make a fine single-handed reel for rivers like the Kispiox, Grand Cascapedia, or maybe the Gaula. These have rarely even been handled and would make a spectacular addition to someone's classic reel collection. They will never be made again. RH. Set of 3-Mint. $7995.00.
    
    
87. Tibor Billy Pate Trout AR. Though no longer available, these were surprisingly well thought of when they were current. Tibor managed to create a trout reel with anti-reverse AND a big game type drag system and still managed to keep the weight within reason. 3.05"x0.80" and 6.3. It'll hold a WF6F and 150yds of 20# (barely.) For fun, one could use this as a 6 or 7 weight bonefish reel by using 250yds of 50# GSP. It appears to be unused and shows no evidence of having even been lined. It comes with the beautiful Pate neoprene reelcase, access tool, and its box. Currently set up for LH, it would need need to be returned to Tibor for conversion. Excellent+. $350.00.SOLD
    
    
88. Winston 8'9" 5 weight LT5 (5 piece.) This LT5 model is still current and very popular. It features Winston's beautiful nickel/silver uplocking reelseat with a wood insert that I believe is maple. It comes with the original rod sock and aluminum tube. The cork shows slight soiling from moderate use, but the blank is perfect. Excellent. $450.00.
