I purchased this reel from Follys End from Larry just before he sold the business, it is a large arbor 8 weight that will stop a train! I say this because I have landing more then 2000 Steelhead and Brown trout over the years the biggest was a 16 1/2 Brown in Jan. several years ago. It was built in Argentina and has a Turbine in the back cover that is sealed and inside is oil so that when the fish runs it fights the oil as the turbine spins! It also has a drag system that can be tightened and loosened to help slow the fish down. Designed for fresh and saltwater new the reel sold for $480.00 I am selling it for $200.00 firm, it has an 8 weight I think Orvis line and backing on it now. I hate to give up this companion that has landed more steelhead then most guys will ever catch in a lifetime but I have given up fishing and moved on to other things,JImmy I have uploaded a picture but it will not open, harpoon46@verizon.net for a picture
