Model 2 Fly Reel — Skull‑Etched Edition — Blemished

This listing is for a Model 2 fly reel finished in matte anodized gunmetal gray and featuring a custom skull‑etched faceplate. This reel is being sold as a blem — the jaw/teeth area of the skull pattern did not etch to my satisfaction (see photos). The reel is fully functional, mechanically perfect, and ready to fish, but the etching placement is not up to my standard for a first‑quality piece.

If you appreciate unique, small‑batch reels with character, this is a great opportunity to pick one up at a reduced price.

At 6.4 oz, the Model 2 balances beautifully on cane and glass rods. The clicker provides a clean medium‑strength drag, and the neutral winding bias allows easy setup for left‑ or right‑hand retrieve.
