Ted Godfrey Paradigm "The Bruce" Fly Reel 3 1/4"

Ted Godfrey Paradigm "The Bruce" Fly Reel 3 1/4"A nice Ted Godfrey Paradigm "The Bruce" trout reel, 3 1 4" diameter and set up for LHW. It weighs 6. 9 ounces on my scale. The reel appears mint and unfished. It has nickel silver rims, grease cap, and sculptured pillars, with a classic aluminum and nickel silver S shaped handle. Polished black sideplates. This reel has Godfreys ten position drag lever which is very smooth and should hold any large trout from running. The reel packs into the original
