Peerless #5 Fly Reel 8'3" Navy leather spine over navyAn excellent Peerless #5 fly reel, 3 1 4" diameter and set up for LHW. A nice versatile size, this classic S handle reel has good capacity and a strong drag. The spool width is ~1" and the reel is designed to hold a WF7 or WF8 with ~125 yards of backing. It weighs 8. 7 ounces on my scale. Good used condition with some moderate rim rash on the frame edges and some mounting marks on the foot, but the sideplates are good and clean. The reel is excellent
