Fly Reels In My Collection

[Gavin]

Nice looking reel...I'm not sure what its worth...but I'd check the completed auction listings on Ebay for reels in similar condition..3.5" diameter...should hold a 5 or a 6wt. It would look great on an old Granger, Heddon, or Phillipson. Cheers.

Good looking reel. Check the bottom of the box. The last 2 digits are the ' born on ' date.

So did you sell that Sal-Trout ?

I would like it. PM me.

The Sal Trout is a hell of a nice reel. The click is strong, but it has a light enough start up to fish 6# tippet in faster water and let the fish run. They will hold a WF6F Orvis Clearwater and 100 yds of 20# dacron. I had a Retro, but would rather have had the original model.

Thats exaclty how my Pflueger Gem is. It is in the pictures with a thumbscrew where the sliding horeshoe latch should be.

That horseshoe latch is just gorgeous!
