Schagerstrom, Anders -- Raised Pillar Trout Reel

VFT386


For sale here is a fine raised pillar fly reel made by Anders Schagerstrom from the Sweden. Anders made this reel for me back in 2016. Made from a gold anodized aluminum frame with ebonite sideplates with a very sleek dished design. The cross pillars and screws are made from stainless steel. Very well made with very tight machining tolerances. The reel diameter pillar to pillar is 3.30" and 2.85" without the pillars. The spool width is 0.95" The weight is 8.45 oz. Just the correct amount of spring tension for the fixed check system. The outgoing direction has a very pleasing sound and the incoming direction is silent, The reel foot is AFTMA compliant -- 2 1/2" in length. The capacity will accommodate up to a DT6 plus 75 yds of backing.

Comes with a custom fitted wooden reel case.

Mr. Schagerstrom's reel output has been somewhat limited to date because as many find out, the time that goes into hand-making a reel of this caliber is not an easy task. Nice job, Anders!
