Farlex Platewind Fly Reel 1-1 DD 4" 10'6" I could have cleaned itA nice Farlex 1 1 Platewind direct drive fly reel, 4" diameter and set up for RHW (though the bias is fairly neutral). Raised pillar design. Serial #11. Mint, unfished condition. Black anodized throughout. The reel weighs 13. 6 ounces on my scale. Gear and pawl drag system with a nice loud click. Ebonite handle that's slightly flared at the end. "Farlex" is etched into both the winding plate and backplate. There is also a tensioner in the frame edge
