Farlex Platewind Fly Reel 1-1 DD 3 3/4" 6'10" Seven feet nine inchesA nice Farlex Platewind direct drive fly reel, 3 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW (though the bias is fairly neutral). Raised pillar design. Serial #082. There are two tiny mounting marks on the the foot ends but I can find no sign that the reel has been fished (maybe it happened for potential rod matching purposes?). Silver anodized throughout. The reel weighs 10 ounces on my scale. Gear and pawl drag system with a nice loud click. Ebonite handle
