Side-mount Fly Reel

Diameter 3 3/4 inches, depth 1/2 inch, weight 8 1/8 ounces

The popularity of the Billinghurst reel resulted in the manufacture of other side-mount styles.  This 3 ¾” cast brass side-mount was rugged and functional, and is the product of an as yet unidentified maker believed to have made reels in Northern New York during Billinghurst’s time.
