The backplate has a nickel silver plate stamped with "Tom Morgan Rodsmiths". The reel is in excellent mechanical condition. Cosmetically, the reel shows use, as shown in the photos. Comes in a fitted leather case by Arne Mason with Tom Morgan's logo stamped on the top. Capacity is DT6+50 yds of 20# micron backing.
Per Mr. Morgan's website:
The drag is a simple preset gear & pawl overrunning check mechanism with enough resistance to provide a tiring drag. Reels like this were always my favorite and a little extra drag can be applied with your thumb on the inside of the spool. It's a perfect size for our #5-, #6-, and #7-weight graphite and fiberglass rods where you need good backing capacity in a relatively light reel of classic design.
