Charlton 8500 0.8 Signature Series Fly Reel 7'1" Full wells grip with down-lockingFor sale here is a Charlton 8500 Signature Series 0. 8 fly reel in excellent condition. One sizable ding to the rims and minor marks elsewhere. Mechanically perfect. Right hand retrieve. Serial number SS9080. It was hard to get a good photo of the writing on the drag plate, so the edges appear silver, but in reality they are the same black as the rest of the reel. I need to work on my Charlton photography skills : ) You will not be disappointed in
