A Dr. Paul Herman "Baby Herman" trout reel. 2 5/8" diameter, 1" spool width. Serial #56. 5.8oz. The click is omnidirectional so it can be used in either direction. Good used condition with some rim rash here and there. "PH056" is stamped alongside the reel foot. The side plates are black delrin. The protective rim and frame are polished aluminum along with the spool, foot, oil port, and crank handle. Pillars and screws are stainless steel. A very rare reel as I have seen a number of salmon reels by Paul but this is the first trout that's come into my hands in quite a while. Comes packed in a blue velvet bag. A nice classic-style trout reel by one of the best reelmakers of the last 50 years.
