$150 shipped Con USA. Series 2 #5. 4-1/8" O.D. x 1-1/2" I.D. x 8.3 oz. Just a bit large for my 11'-7" Meiser. Comes with backing and Rio .024 Coldwater shooting line. Plenty of room for head left. Hardy reel pouch, blank warranty card, box. Just bought this and looks like new other than a very small bit of rim rash on bottom of frame that's almost imperceptible. This is a Korean made unit with clicker and disc drag similar to Orvis branded Hardys. They haven't done well in USA but IT search reveals them to be well regarded in Europe and recent sale shows one went for 174 Euros ($234 USD). I think it's tolerances are far better than my Lamsons and like the natural aluminium finish.
