Billy Pate Trout Reel 7'4" Includes the original leather handleA nice Billy Pate Trout reel, approximately 2 7 8" diameter and set up for LHW. Anti reverse. Near mint condition, I could only find one or two microscopic marks on the reel and there are no marks on the mounting foot so it may not have ever been fished. Very sound mechanically with a smooth powerful drag. Serial number "91" stamped into the frame near the foot. Black anodized aluminum construction throughout. Designed to hold up to a WF6 + 150 yards
