Charlton 8450C Fly Reel w/ 7/8 Spool

VFT1701


For sale here is a Charlton 8450C fly reel with 7/8 spool in unfished condition. The reel is set up for RHW but can be easily reversed to LHW. Comes with its original cordura reel pouch.

There are a few what appear to be very small and insignificant water marks in the anodized finish, probably from spending its time in a high humidity environment. No marks exist on the reel foot. No scratches or dings. The inside is also flawless. Mechanically flawless. Comes loaded with line and backing in new condition. This was a "backup" reel for my client and it was never used.

Exceptional quality in a flexible design that you can tailor to the conditions. With the quick change of a spool you can alter both the weight of the reel and line with appropriate backing capacity. Exclusive configurable system accommodates three different quick change spools: 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 weight. Cover a range of six line weights with a single reel. Retrieve rate increases as you mount spools engineered for smaller line weights, resulting in a large arbor, quick-retrieve reel. When mounted with the smaller spools it becomes a lightweight, quick-retrieve, freshwater reel. Carbon fibre disk drag system built for larger species. Type III anodization for maximum saltwater protection. Oversized 5/8" smooth-riding aerospace bearings. Complete enclosure of all mechanical components to protect against contamination from the elements. New patent pending snap-reverse system instantly reverses to left or right hand retrieve with the push of a button.
