William Olson Gear and Pawl Fly Reel 4"

2399


A superb William Olson Gear and Pawl fly reel, 4" diameter and set up for RHW. Black anodized throughout with a clear anodized foot and S-shaped crank handle. Two handsome medallions are inset into the front plate with the first noting the model and serial number (4" G&P / No. 241) while the second bears William's maker stamp. The reel weighs 12.1 ounces on my scale. It is in mint, unfished condition. Ivorine-style handle. Pre-set gear and pawl drag which has one of the loudest clicks of any gear and pawl reel I've ever seen (your friends will know when you are into a fish on this reel!). The reel packs into its original leather drawstring bag with Arne Mason's stamp on one side and "W.R. Olson" stamped on the other. Mr. Olson has built a well-deserved reputation as one of our best contemporary bench reelmakers, and, as fans know, the waitlist is substantial. Here is your chance to skip it and enjoy this reel on your next salmon or steelhead trip.

Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. 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.

Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
