ROGUE STEELHEAD & SALMON 3 7/8" FLY REEL LH!

This is a scarce Steelhead/Salmon Fly Reel made by John Shaw in the 1960's. Its' side plates measure 3 7/8" and the width of the spool is approximately 1". It has an unique drag system having an external lever that allows transition from a full stop to normal drag operation and then to free spool if needed. Click is strong and it sounds in either direction. The click sound has the option of being put into a silent mode by moving the unusual shape switch on the back side plate located to left of the "Rogue" name (again this only can be made silent on outbound line, inbound always has the click on). This particular fly reel is set up for left hand retrieve. Previously owned but in excellent condition mechanically and having minor finish rubs at the rims. Tough reel!
