Herron #6 Fly Reel

Herron #6 Fly ReelA nice Cliff Herron #6 fly reel, 3 1 2" diameter and set up for RHW. Near mint condition, there are a few small handling marks here and there but I can find no sign that the reel has actually been fished. The reel weighs 8. 2 ounces on my scale. Black anodized throughout with the front plate ventilated along with the spool on that side. The drag is adjusted via a dial on the backplate. "Herron" is stamped into the side of the foot, and the other side

which is super hard to find these days

Motivated seller so this is priced to move

The folding feature makes the drier great for travel and on the stream drying

High gloss spar varnish finish

The knurled tensioner works perfectly

A superb Gary Howells fly rod 8'6"

This is a terrific small stream rod and at the present price of an Eden Cane or Scott rod
