Hank Roberts was an innovator in the fly-fishing business and pioneered the practice of having flies tied outside of the United States

a genuine work of rodmaking art

Impregnated model wrapped in brown with a carbide stripper and chrome guides and tip-tops

built for what feels to me like a #4 line (and I've listed it as such)

The spool on the reel has a DT #6 intermediate line mounted

Seamaster Mark I Reel RHW 8 Weight Hank Roberts was an innovatorAn excellent Seamaster "Baby Doll" Mark I fly reel, the smallest in Bob McChristian's Mark series. Set up for RHW. 3" diameter, 1" spool width (1 1 2" overall width). Aside from the owner's name engraved on the reel foot I can see no sign of use. Gold anodized frame and foot. The spool is black anodized. Comes in original pouch and box with warranty papers. A fantastic example of a rare and desirable Seamaster model.
