Charlton 8500 1.2 Thinn-Line Series Fly Reel

Charlton 8500 1.2 Thinn-Line Series Fly ReelHere is a scarce opportunity to purchase an exceptional Charlton Thinn Line (TL) fly reel, model 8500 1. 2 (serial number TL9095). Left hand retrieve! This reel was only available for a few years, early in the history of Charlton Reels from 1994 96. This series was ironically cheaper than the more well known Signature Series with most of the savings made in the matte finish and simplified drag knob. There is one ding on the rim, otherwise the reel

Model 220V4T2

The script remains as clean and bold as the day it was written

There is a small dent in the bottom of the butt cap

Throws a DT4 or WF5 with ease and finesse

This is a very fine example of Gary's work in the early 90's with stunningly dark shafts

The Special stamp remains clean and bold free of any defect

Medium-blonde toned cane complimented nicely by the deep red wraps producing a classic look

Aidan fly reel

I'd rate it on the medium side of medium-fast dry fly action
