JW Young Fly Reel

JW Young Fly ReelA JW Youngs red agate fly reel, 3 1 4" diameter and set up for RHW. The reel is in good used condition with loss to the finish in areas and general signs of use but no major issues that I could find. The red agate is in excellent shape. The brass foot is full length. The reel is mechanically smooth. Erinoid handle. The reel packs into a black neoprene pouch for protection. A nice little classic trout reel.

Medium fast action and feels best with a 6 line

The grip is 5 1/2" long and turned to a medium cigar profile

it’s placed in an embossed leather pouch housed in a rich cedar box
