CRI (Catskill Research Incorporated) Model 2300 fly reel 7'5" Medium brown oven tempered caneFor sale here is a Model 2300 fly reel from CRI, or Catskill Research Incorporated. Made in Japan. Excellent plus condition. 3. 11" diameter, 1. 10" frame width. Made like an Orvis CFO, only better in my opinion.
