I've got a black Felty 911 fly reel with 10-weight fly line, original box, paperwork, lubricating oil, and case. This reel is in mint condition with absolutely no marks or flaws and has never been rigged on a rod or fished, only taken out of the box to be lined.
For those who aren't aware, Felty is a South African fly fishing reel manufacturer which is very popular among saltwater fly fishermen in Australia. The 911 retailed for $550 AU when it was still being sold and was designed to hold 9-weight through 11-weight conventional lines, featuring an incredible closed drag system which is permanently lubricated.
I purchased it from a guy in Australia last year almost entirely for informational purposes; I have a Thomas & Thomas branded trout reel that looked similar and wanted to check out a Felty to confirm my hunch. Now that I've verified the manufacturer of my T&T reel, I don't need the Felty any longer.

Thanks for looking,
