A rare Peaker saltwater fly reel, 4 1/4" diameter and set up for RHW. Only a small number of these reels were made in California in the mid-to-late 1980's, inspired by John Emery's saltwater reels, and this is serial #24. The spool width is approximately 1 1/8". Direct drive with a cork drag reminiscent of those by Fin-Nor and Seamaster. Black anodized throughout with a ported spool that's suitable for palming and on the frame plate we have "Peaker" and "No. 24" engraved as well as the drag adjuster knob. Near mint condition with just a few tiny traces of use on the frame edge, but they are very light, and the reel could not have been fished much. I am told that this reel is also convertible to LHW (though I have not attempted it myself and don't know how simple or complicated it might be). The reel comes in a Shakespeare black alligator leather pouch. A neat and rare reel here for a saltwater reel collector.
