Ids Schukken Titanium/PEI #6 Trout Reel

Ids Schukken Titanium/PEI #6 Trout ReelA very nice Ids Schukken Seatrout Titanium PEI #6 fly reel, 3 1 8" diameter and set up for LHW. Designed and made in the Netherlands where Mr. Schukken has been building quality bench made fly rods and reels for the past 35 years. This reel is mint and unfished. It weighs 6. 7 ounces on my scale. This reel is Model St6 TiS (Seatrout Model) with the frame made from Grade 2 titanium and the amber colored spool is made from PEI (polyetherimide). The

Reel diameter is 3 7/8" and the spool width is 2 1/8"

This rod appears to be in original condition and virtually unused

this coming on the eve of World War II

This rod was made in 2005

as I can find a few very minor marks from use but I doubt this reel has seen much action at all

Very handsome squared bakelite winding check flows seamlessly into the cigar grip with a square nose

Beige wraps (NCP) with burgundy tipping at the winding check

Reel remains in very good condition

a very fine rod from a master craftsman

The tip section ferrule wraps feature red tipping on one and black on the other to distinguish them from one another

The spool/spindle fit is as tight as they come
