Bill Ballan Trout Reel 2 5/8" HL Leonard The cap is stamped "Payne"A nice little Bill Ballan Trout real, with a fairly neutral bias but probably favors RHW. 2 5 8 diameter with an approximately 1 spool width. Near mint condition with the only signs of use being some very modest mounting marks on the foot. Black side plates with a light gold frame and a matte silver spool and a bright polished foot. Bill Ballan stamped into the counterbalance. Should work nicely with a #3 or #4. No bag.
