Here is a scarce opportunity to purchase an exceptional Charlton Thinn-Line (TL) fly reel, model 8500 1.2 (serial number TL9013). This reel was only available for a few years, early in the history of Charlton Reels from 1994-96. This series was ironically cheaper than the more well-known Signature Series with most of the savings made in the matte finish and simplified drag knob. There are a couple of tiny dings and marks illustrated in the photographs, otherwise perfect!
