Rare A-1 Fin-Nor No.2 Wedding Cake Fly Reel

Sign In to see what this sold for

Very Rare Serial Number "A-1" Fin-Nor No.2 Wedding Cake Salmon Fly Reel. The first fly reels specifically designed for salt water use, these wedding cake reels, named for the tiered construction of the tail plate, were designed by Gar Wood, Jr. and introduced in the early 1960's. The number 2 size reel was built to handle 200 yards of 15# test braided nylon backing and 40 yards of GAF fly line. This reel, set for right hand wind, is very special, as it is marked on the tail plate with serial number "A-1". With a personalized name plate that has remained blank, this excellent condition reel shows only slight signs of use with slight rim blemishes, and screw heads that show scant use. The brake adjustment works flawlessly, and with pleasing gold coloration, a true collector's item and a certainly worth a prominent place in any fly reel collection. A must have for the serious collector of wedding cake reels from Fin-Nor. Comes with a Tycoon-Fin-Nor marked vinyl reel case and "The Inside Story", the use and care paperwork for this reel.
