Henschel Dual Mode #3 Reel 6'10" The tube includes its originalA Henschel Dual Mode #3 fly reel, 3. 81" diameter and set up for RHW. The reel weighs 15. 2 ounces with a line and backing loaded on it. Made in Germany. I believe this was machined from Titanium for extra corrosion resistance. Dual mode drag with porting on both sides and a "foot forward" design. Near mint condition with one small nick on the frame edge being the only sign of use that I could find. The drag is adjusted via a dial under the handle.
