Saracione Deluxe Salmon Reel 3 1/2" RHW

Saracione Deluxe Salmon Reel 3 1/2" RHWAn excellent Saracione Deluxe Salmon reel, 3 1 2" in diameter, and set up for RHW. In used but excellent condition. These benchmade reels exhibit a very high standard of craft and are a modern homage to the classic Vom Hofe style reels. Nickel silver rims, spool, and S handle, with jet black sideplates (in what looks to me to be black anodized aluminum). There is some patina on the rims and spool, though it could easily be polished out. The sideplates

with a yellow bag with stiffener
