Peerless #5 Fly Reel 9'2" down-locking reel seat over fine

down-locking reel seat over fine rosewood spacer

7” long with no issues

The upper rim of the ring is slightly bent out of place where it was originally soldered

The seat is an aluminum downlocking screwlock and a pocket cap

I think it should be worth at least double that in my opinion simply due to its rarity

Peerless #5 Fly Reel 9'2" down-locking reel seat over fineAn excellent Peerless #5 fly reel, 3 1 4" diameter and set up for LHW. A nice versatile size, this classic S handle reel has good capacity and a strong drag. The spool width is ~1" and the reel is designed to hold a WF7 or WF8 with ~125 yards of backing. It weighs 8. 7 ounces on my scale. Good used condition with some moderate rim rash on the frame edges and some mounting marks on the foot, but the sideplates are good and clean. The reel is excellent
