DL Robichaud Trout Reel 2 3/4"

An excellent DL Robichaud trout reel, 2 3/4" diameter with a 27/32" spool width. Weighs a scant 4.3 oz. This reel is mint and comes packed in a brown drawstring leather bag embossed in the Robichaud logo. Along with the reel it also has a spare spool packed in another leather bag. This reel is very nicely made with a unique spool change system. Depress the side plate with both thumbs and rotate it which will cause the side plate to pop up on a spring which allows for a quick spool change (a small pamphlet which accompanies the reel provides nice detail on how to do this). Aluminum clear anodized frame, spool, foot, and serpentine crank handle.  Black anodized side plates. Both the handle side plate and the spool are ventilated for weight reduction. The back is engraved "D.L. Robichaud, Hudson, N.H., U.S.A."  A very neat, light, and rare reel, this would make a great option for your small stream rod.
