to my eye at least

RL Winston Perfect Fly Reel 2 7/8" with Extra Spool 6'6" to my eye at leastA nice RL Winston Perfect fly reel, 2 7 8" in diameter and set up for LHW (though switchable). Mint, unused condition. The reel also comes with a spare spool. These reels were made in England by Hardy. Dark green color with a nickel silver line guard affixed to one of the pillars. "Made in England" and "WP3101" stamped into the sides of the reel foot. A great model for the Winston aficionado, this would be excellent with your favorite Glenn Brackett
