John Emery Fly Reel 3 7/8" 8 just typical wear from honestA rare John Emery fly reel, 3 3 4" diameter and set up for LHW. Direct drive. Though I have seen and come across a few larger Emery reels, I haven't seen many smaller ones like this. Excellent lightly used condition with a few mounting marks on the foot but very few other signs of wear. Palmable spool rim. The drag is silent incoming and outgoing and the reel is similar to a Seamaster in function and materials. Approximately 1 3 16" spool width and
