An exquisite 3" Saracione Deluxe II marbleized trout reel. Set up for LHW. This is serial #321 and weighs 5.3 oz. It's a daunting task to describe this reel, which appears to me to be perfection embodied. It's hard to fathom that someone could put together a reel with a higher degree of craftsmanship. There is not a tool mark to be found anywhere. Even on some of the trickier spots, like the knurls, they are dead perfect. Everything is highly polished. The side plates are marbleized red and black gutta-percha. Aluminum foot, spool, and crank handle. Soldered german silver rims. Stainless end play take-up cap. This reel comes packed in a lovely Arnie Mason leather case along with the original Saracione box.
