Allcock’s Aerial 4 ½” Reel 11'6" "The Sovereign"

keep in mind what a wonderful presentation gift it would be to the ardent dry fly fisherman

The action is slower and with more feel than most modern graphite rods

The reel is a direct drive (SA - single action)

Reverse half wells grip with a squared nose to match the quadrate construction of the rod
