A very nice Saracione SCA (Saracione Classic American) fly reel with a spare spool, 3 1/4" diameter and set up for RHW. This is a rare "wide" version of standard SCA, with a spool width measuring 1.15". This must be a rare one, as I don't recall having ever seen a wide version of a 3 1/4" model (Joe was making these in the mid-to-late 1980s, and I remember discussing them with him when they were in development). The reel weighs 8 ounces on my scale. Mint, unfished condition. Champagne anodized frame and spool with black anodized sideplates. Beautiful curved S style handle. The drag is adjusted via a knob on the backplate, and these reels also have an ingenious removable spool system whereby the backplate (and spool) are removable by pushing a sliding knob on the backplate and rotating the plate approximately 90 degrees. Both the reel and spool pack into a double fleece lined zipper pouch. A great early reel in a rare configuration by one of the very best in the business.
