Bauer M7 Fly Reel 6' just three years after EdA nice Bauer M7 fly reel, 4 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW. Black anodized throughout. Weighs 15. 3 ounces on my scale with backing and a line loaded on it. The reel appears unfished, and the only marks I could find is a tiny bit of rubbing on the outer edge of each side of the reel foot (though they aren't the typical mounting marks). Otherwise the reel appears mint. Adjustable silent drag with plenty of stopping power. Packs into a black cordura
