A beautiful Paul Hermann salmon reel, 3 3/16" in diameter and set up for LHW. This reel is in its original, unused condition. Black anodized side plates with silver rims, spool, crank, pillars, and foot. "P Hermann, Maker" and "180" stamped into the underside next to the foot. I believe that Dr. Hermann made around 200 of these reels in his lifetime and the quality of his work needs no introduction. Boasting a Bogdan-style drag, Dr. Hermann made these reels by hand, exhibiting a high degree of craftsmanship. The drag will stop any salmon you are lucky enough to catch and boasts a 1.9 : 1 retrieve. It weighs 11.4 ounces on my scale. It also comes in an original blue fleece bag with a red drawstring. Gorgeous reel.
