Charlton 8500 .8 Fly Reel with Extra Spool 10' Medium size arbor

Medium size arbor

Ferrule size is 13/64 and the fit is excellent

It was made in 1973 and has ruby wraps with black signature wraps and tipping at HK

The ferrule fit of the longer mid and tips is super tight -- I couldn't get the tip sections to seat fully

very fishable
