Peerless #2 Reel Gary Howells A Sweetgrass “Mantra” bamboo flyA nice Peerless model 2 fly reel, 3 1 4" diameter and set up for LHW. Good used condition, with moderate rim rash on the frame edges concentrated in the "resting spot" and some mounting marks to the foot, but pretty clean otherwise. Clear anodized frame and spool with black anodized sideplates. Classic S handle design. The spool and sideplate on the cranking side are ventilated. The reel weighs 5. 1 ounces on my scale. Designed for a #5 or #6 line
