We're really excited to have this Saracione here at the shop. This reel has never been used and comes with an Arne Mason leather case which are no longer in production.
Model 2 3/4": Spool width: 7/8". Weight: 5.25 ounces. Fly line: 4, 5wt. Capacity: 60yds 20# micron WF4F. Application: Designed for 7-7 1/2ft bamboo rods in the 4-5wt class. This is by far our most popular trout model.
"Our Deluxe II reels are made in the old American tradition of Edward vomHofe reels with ebonite rubber side plates, German Silver protective side bands and an assortment of bronze, aluminum and stainless steel components. This is the reel that put SARACIONE on the map as a high grade collectable fly reel. This is not a reproduction of the vomHofe reels but more of vomHofe style reel. The drag system on the trout models is a preset gear and pawl drag, precisely set to control spool overrun. The assembly of spool-to frame fit is controlled with an adjustable side play mechanism like those found on better bait casting reels. These reels are the perfect match for high grade bamboo rods where the "Classic S handle" reel just looks and feels at home."
