Charlton 8550C Reel with Tarpon Spool
$ 3,450
2513
A superb Charlton 8550C fly reel with a tarpon spool. Set up for RHW. Mint condition, I could find no sign that this reel has ever been on a rod. 4 1/2" diameter with a 1 3/16" spool width. The capacity for this model is listed as WF 10 and 400 yards of 30 lb backing. Serial #8550-9789. The sealed carbon fiber disk drag is self-adjusting and has over 9-square inches of surface area. Excellent all-black type-III hard anodizing except for the center medallion and the counterweight which are done in chrome. The reel is packed in the original green cordura pouch with the box and paperwork (the label on the box says "Left Hand Retreive" but this reel is definitely RHW). A highly sought-after Charlton model here, it doesn't get much better than this for chasing large saltwater species.

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
