I love tiny fly reels !

[reelsmith.]

I just picked this one up. Aluminum plates, nickel silver hardware, nice big EVH style hole in the foot... and only 2" in diameter... including the pillars!

Hi Dean--Neat little guy, but wasn`t JVH`s TM a smaller hole? Like 1/8"
max. ? This may be different maker, regardless it's a beaut!--Jack

Dean,

It was nice to see your reel. At last falls Kalamazoo auction, I picked up an identical tiny fly reel, only it has hard rubber side plates. Everything else is exactly the same. I was told the handle is a replacement, but after seeing yours, I now know it is original to the reel. My reel has the number 514 stamped under the foot. I have pictures, but don't know how to post here. I can e-mail pictures though.

Great little reel, Dean! Looks like a 4 and a 0 on the bottom? Hard to tell from the pics. An excellent find.
