Saracione Bellinger Salmon Reel 3 3/4"

Saracione Bellinger Salmon Reel 3 3/4"This exquisite Saracione Bellinger salmon reel is an impressive testament to the legacy of classic reelmaking. No longer in production this reel was part of a limited run of 200 produced by this famed duo. Marked as serial number 26 it runs a full 3 3 4" inches in diameter, with capacity for a DT #8. The drag is a caliper disc construction and is as solid as they come. It sports classic styling with nickel silver sidebands and black delrin end plates

Cane is flamed with darker and lighter mottling

It is a strong and powerful caster and provides excellent distance and accuracy with both streamers and large drys

We've fielded a few requests for these over the years

Probably made in the late 1960's (1968-1970) this Leonard Red Wrap has no repairs

Though back issues can be found

but not much - there is a little discoloring to the grip and a little brassing to inner guides - but otherwise in excellent condition

Back to the rod description
