A rare Peaker saltwater fly reel, 4 1/4" diameter and set up for LHW. It comes with a spare spool. 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 #30. 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. 30" engraved as well as the drag adjuster knob. The reel and spool have had backing loaded on it but I don't see any evidence that either has been fished - no nicks, dings, scratches, or signs of corrosion, etc. I am told that this reel is also convertible to RHW (though I have not attempted it myself and don't know how simple or complicated it might be). The reel comes in a non-original neoprene Simms pouch and the spare spool comes in a non-original drawstring pouch. A neat and rare reel here for a saltwater reel collector.
