Chris Henshaw 1912 Perfect Fly Reel 3" 8'6' Bradley made very fine reels

Bradley made very fine reels and this one needs to find time on the stream

My estimation is that this rod dates to the mid-to-late 1930's

but when called upon fire 95' of line into a stiff breeze

a bit faster than most Leonards
