    Default Orvis made in England Battenkill Bar Stock Reel and Spare Spool

    Lots of reels on the board lately, so I'm offering this one as an alternate to the Ross that I recently listed. I definitely need to thin the proverbial herd, but will keep whichever doesn't get spoken for first. This is another excellent reel in my opinion and experience, and is in excellent shape. It's a disc drag reel from when Orvis was producing them in the UK, before eventually shifting production to Asia.

    Both reel and spool will come with backing, and on one I will include a used but good condition 5 wt. SA Mastery GPX line (no loop) in willow color. In addition to the original boxes and paperwork, I will also provide the original foam and synthetic sheepskin clamshell case. Orvis rated this reel as being for line weights 5-7, but it is exceptionally lightweight (great for today's lighter weight rods), so in practice I used it for 4 and even 3 weight rods as well. Selling all for $175, including shipment in the continental US.

    As noted in my post with the Ross reel, I have been a very long time member despite a comparatively low post count, so I am more than willing to do a video call of some sort or anything else you'd like to do to reassure you that I am who I say I am and that we can both feel confident about each other following through on their commitments.

    As I mentioned in the other post, I've been buying and selling on this and other forums for over 20 years without incident, until one very recent transaction where the "seller" never followed through despite having received funds from me, so I understand and respect any skepticism and will do whatever is needed to address any concerns.
