South Creek Limited Reel 4/5

South Creek Limited Reel 4/5A nice South Creek Limited fly reel, designed by Colorado based rodmaker Mike Clark and made in the USA. 3" diameter to hold a #5 or #6 line. Set up for LHW, though reversible. Catalog weight of 6. 38 ounces. This one is serial #073. Near mint condition with just a whisper of cosmetic wear in a few spots, very clean. I doubt this reel has been fished more than a few times despite the line being loaded on it. Black sideplates with a traditional silver

The transfer of ownership always includes a lifetime ability to have Mike do a free "tune-up" whenever necessary
