Dingley 3" Perfect Fly Reel
$ 550
VFT5108
For sale here is a gorgeous old Dingley-made Perfect from the early 1920's. This 3 inch reel is extremely tight, very well made. It has a single pawl/spring and no ball bearings (a "eunuch" model). It comes with a strap-over tensioner (another feature hard to find on Dingley reels) that works perfectly, gradually increasing the spring tension throughout its adjustment range. The original brass foot is full length and unblemished.
The reel foot measures 2 9/16" and the reel weighs 5.95 oz. A classic and very rarely seen reel made by the master, and very fishable to this day. This reel will look great and balance very well with any of your 4 or 5 weight bamboo rods.

There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
