Maurice Noel M506 Fly Reel 8'6" One of the spare spools

One of the spare spools is loaded with #20 backing as well

this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire such an early gem from the legendary Edward Vom Hofe

The tube is frost coated aluminum with a brass collar

Very Good condition

Great medium-fast action well suited for all around fishing that I feel would fish better with a 5wt line

Maurice Noel M506 Fly Reel 8'6" One of the spare spoolsAn exceedingly scarce Maurice Noel M506 fly reel, 3 7 8" diameter and set up for RHW. Mr. Noel made this reel around 1995, and only five of them were ever made. It boasts an interesting and inventive drag adjustment mechanism, whereby the drag pressure is altered via a crossbar that sits near the reel foot. Slide the crossbar toward the foot to reduce the drag, slide it away to reduce the pressure. I can't recall seeing another mechanism like it,
