New, in the box and never fished but loaded with backing and line is this Orvis Battenkill Large Arbor III fly reel. Made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum with a centerline drag with carbon and stainless steel surface, this reel is loaded with 20-pound Dacron backing and an Orvis WF-F 5-weight line. The large arbor spool will also handle 6- and 7-weight lines, which makes it a great choice for inshore species like trout, redfish, Spanish mackerel and pompano. It would also do well for largemouth bass and freshwater trout/bream. The indexed drag knob makes it easy to set the drag at the desired settings. This reel is set up for left-hand retrieve, but it's easily convertible. It weighs 4.4 ounces and holds 125 yards of 20 pound backing. The reels comes with a nylon case and original box and owner's manual with instructions and parts schematic.
Located in Tallahassee. Great way to get started fly fishing or as a dependable back-up reel.
SOLD.
