Peerless 7M Fly Reel 8'5" This is the largest ofA nice Peerless 7M raised pillar fly reel in mint, unused condition. Favors LHW. 2 3 4" diameter (without the pillars) and weighing 4. 7 oz. Designed to hold a DT4 plus 80 yards of backing. Black sideplates and silver frame. As noted, the reel has no signs of use that I could find. It packs into a suede zipper pouch. An excellent rendition of raised pillar design, well suited to classic or modern bamboo rods alike.
