    I picked up an old 1498 for my 7wt Spey. Honestly the coolest looking reel I’ve purchased. The cleanest medalist I’ve ever seen too. Has made me a big fan of these old diehard reels now. Picked one other up with the circle line guard for the creek rod. Looking for a 1496 LH for my 6wt Spey rod now. 100% American made.

    From the photo that one is all tricked out?

    It looks like it has a machined aluminum 'One-Pfoot' reel foot.

    A One-pfoot machined spool center cap.

    And a One-Pfoot counter balance.

    Inside it might also have a One-Pfoot machined metal reversible drag disc?


    You did good.........

    Yea it’s been upgraded for sure. I’m super happy with it. And it’s heavy enough to balance the rod out.
