Saracione Mark IV Fly Reel 3 3/4” 11'6" Comes with a ferrule plugA very nice Saracione MKIV fly reel, 3 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW. The interior spool width is approximately 1 1 4" and it weighs approximately 14. 4 ounces. Near mint condition with just the faintest touch of mounting marks on the foot but very clean otherwise.
