A superb Otto Zwarg model 300 Saguenay fly reel in 2/0 size. This is the single action salmon model and is set up for RHW. 3 7/16" diameter with a 1 13/32" spool width. Weighs 10.1 oz. Serial #C441 which puts it at a 1948 production date and 1949 is engraved on the side plate along with the owner's name. St. Petersburg, Fla. stamp on the oil cover. This reel is used but in superb uncleaned condition. The reel has some rim rash on the bottom of the protective rims and one end of the reel foot shows signs of dressing. Everything else is in perfect condition. Even the screw heads have no marring. The hard rubber side plates have no cracks or scratches. The spool, serpentine handle, and reel foot are aluminum. The foot is stamped "300", "2/0", and C441. The double rollers turn freely. The drag adjusts from light to very heavy. The handle nut, pillars, screws, drag selector, protective rims, and oil cover are German silver. The side plates and handle grasp are hard rubber. More info on the previous owner is available upon request. The leather reel case has the owner's initials stamped in gold leaf on the cover. The back strap is stamped "2/0". The buckle strap is all there but the case could use some T.L.C. to restore suppleness to the leather. A very nice example of this fine Otto Zwarg model.
