Saracione Mark IV Salmon Reel 4"

Saracione Mark IV Salmon Reel 4"A very nice Saracione MKIV fly reel, 4" diameter and set up for LHW. The interior spool width is approximately 1 5 32" and it weighs 15. 1 ounces on my scale. Good lightly used condition with some modest rim rash concentrated around the "resting area" but very clean overall. Black sideplates with a clear anodized frame. The spool is ventilated on both sides and the sideplate on the cranking side is ventilated as well. A powerful drag with a nice loud

Fair condition as it has been unprofessionally rewrapped and the based of the swell has had either a slight delamination problem or was not glued up properly

The tube is black crackle paint with a gold anodized aluminum collar and top and is stamped with the Kusse die stamp

powerful butt

not as slow as many of Gary's tapers

It doesn't get much sweeter than this
