$ 3,500
VFT1785
For sale here is a Charlton 8550C fly reel with the Tarpon spool. Right hand retrieve. Comes with its original cordura reel case. The reel is mint unfished condition. The reel was spooled up with line and backing as a backup and was never used.
Considered by Jack Charlton himself as his best work, the Charlton 8550C is known by anglers and collectors around the world for its machining quality. The 8550C series follows the Charlton Configurable approach, accommodating line weights 7 and above with four distinctively different spools sizes (each sold separately). The legendary sealed carbon fiber disk drag is self-adjusting and has over 9-square inches of surface area. A large arbor design gives the angler over one foot of line retrieve per revolution. Meticulously coated with a high-polished, deep black Type III anodized finish with matte reliefs. Fully machined from high-grade aluminum and steel.
