Tom Morgan / Joe Saracione #1 Reel 2 3/4" [SALE PENDING]

Tom Morgan / Joe Saracione #1 Reel 2 3/4" [SALE PENDING]A gorgeous little Joe Saracione #1 fly reel made for Tom Morgan Rodsmiths, 2 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW. Made in 1995, this reel is marked "Saracione" and "05 1 15" on the reel seat and I believe this was from the first edition of these that Joe made for Tom. Mint, unused condition. The reel weighs 4. 7 ounces on my scale and is designed to hold up to a WF3 with backing. Black delrin sideplates with highly polished aluminum rings. Stainless

The total length of the tube is 24 1/2"

Nickel silver slide-band and stamped pocket cap reel seat with maple spacer

with "The Perfect" and "Fly Reel" in the target marks near the spindle

Oxidized ferrules which retain almost all of their oxidation

For sale here is a Hardy Birmingham trout fly reel

though nothing that is particular noteworthy

Another rare and early Hardy Perfect that would be a great addition to any collection

One tip is 1 1/8" short

a few of the guide wraps are dry and will require attention at some point
