Very good prices.....


The Pflueger 'Medalist' 1495 1/2 fly reel is a good size for a #7 or 8 line fly rod.

They have a drag like a wagon brake, smooth but not to powerful.

They don't have a heavy drag so they would not be good for big salmon but great for most species.

They are fun on an old fiberglass fly rod or split cane/bamboo.



You can buy lots of parts for the Pflueger 'Medalist' fly reels at "One-Pfoot" company.

They have counter balances to make them run smoother at high speeds.

They also have machines metal drag disc for RH/LH convertibility.

Pflueger 'Sal-Trout' fly reel has a click-n-pawl simple light drag.

These reels were produced in Akron, OH between 1934 and 1970.

I think they came in two sizes: 1554 for #4/5/6 lines and 1558 for 7/8 line sizes.

Lots of picture in Google images........fun on an old fiberglass fly rod or split cane/bamboo.
