Mason, Arne - Leather Reel Case 8'9" The screw in the center

The screw in the center of the counterbalance was also a very early feature on EVH reels and I've only seen a couple other Model 355 reels with this feature

This one is serial #5 as etched into the base of the n/s butt cap and on the brass tube cap

This attention to detail produces a rod that is smooth casting and delicately delivers a fly with incredible accuracy

As close to perfect as it gets actually
