Loop 2W Fly Reel 8'1" My usual varnish job

My usual varnish job

This is the champagne finish model made for the Japanese market and very difficult to find on the resale market

There is an alternating banding pattern at the winding check

Built on a matte dark green sanded blank with jet black wraps and bright emerald green tipping

The agate stripper and butt cap die stamp date this rod to the early 1950's

Loop 2W Fly Reel 8'1" My usual varnish jobA Loop Model 2W fly reel, three and three quarter inch diameter and set up for RHW. Large arbor design with porting on the palmable spool. Excellent lightly used condition with a tiny bit of wear on the frame edges, but very clean overall. Black anodized throughout, and the drag is adjusted via a knob on the hub that holds the spool on. The reel comes in an Abel Black Cordura pouch.
