I bought this real from Tom Morgan, Rod Smiths, Hence the logo on the reel. I ordered a seven weight rod and it took eight months for them to tell me that they hadn’t even started the build. I canceled that order and I don’t really have a need for this reel. It is absolutely mint, pristine, new in the box, Never had backing or a fly line on it. Price to sell good luck.
