Description
For sale is a Farlow's of London Serpent single action fly reel with a click & pawl drag. The 3 1/4" reel weighs 5.95 ounces. It has roughly the same capacity as a Hardy Princess - 125+yds of #20 backing plus a WF6F fly line. The reel balances nicely with 7 1/2' - 8' bamboo rods.Well over 80% of the original finish is intact. The are some frame edge scuffs consistent with fishing the reel. I've probably put a few of them on there but no dings or dents. There is a minor line cut on the line guide. There is a bit of yellow backing residue on the arbor from some hot yellow backing. That can be buffed off for display if warranted. The clicker is very strong but not overly loud - more like a purr.
The rest of the reel is tight without any spool wobble. The reel has been recently cleaned and re-greased.
Overall, the reel is in fine, indeed excellent, fishing condition.
The reel will be shipped inside a small to medium box for a flat shipping and handling fee of . If I can ship the reel for materially less, I will pass savings onto the buyer. Since it's fishing season, please allow five days for handling.
