J Austin Forbes Thistle Fly ReelA J Austin Forbes Thistle model fly reel, 2 3 4" diameter and set up for what feels like LHW (it has a fairly neutral bias, but leans more toward LHW). Mint, unused condition. This is a contemporary offering, with a silver frame and a polished brass spool. Fixed click design. Brass foot. The reel weighs 4. 3 ounces on my scale and is designed to hold #3 4 lines. The reel packs into a brown leather drawstring pouch and green original box.
