Bauer M7 Fly Reel

Bauer M7 Fly ReelA nice Bauer M7 fly reel, 4 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW. Black anodized throughout. Weighs 10 ounces on my scale. Mint condition I can find no signs of use. Adjustable silent drag with plenty of stopping power. Packs into the original neoprene Bauer pouch.

Serial number 81200 - the year after Maxwell left the Leonard Rod Co

A fine piece for the fly collector and the top also makes a great display item for your classic tackle items

For sale here is a Sweetgrass quad bamboo rod - 6 feet long with two tips

Bee-Eaters

Presumably the original bag and tube accompanies the sale

The agate line guide is free of cracks but the n/s bezel has a hairline crack that doesn't extend all the way through

The reel comes with a hardbound color copy of his nomination book to the IGFA Hall of Fame

Typical Payne node spacing and the lovely temper to the cane

The rod action is medium-fast semi-full flexing but with fine tips

A true modern classic

with minor cosmetic wear in the usual places but fine patina throughout and free of any major defects or issues
