Peerless Model #6 Reel 7'11" The buckle strap is brokenA nice Peerless #6 fly reel, 3 1 2" diameter, and set up for LHW. This reel has a nice large capacity and large drag. This model was one of Peerless' largest, suitable for two handed or large single hand rods. Mint, unused condition. The reel weighs 9. 7 ounces on my scale. Clear anodized aluminum frame with black anodized sideplates. Strong drag that's adjustable via the dial on the backplate. The reel packs into the original peerless leather pouch.
