JW Young Fly Reel 1-Piece Down-locking bakelite reel seat inA JW Youngs red agate fly reel, 3 1 4" diameter and set up for RHW. The reel is in good used condition with loss to the finish in areas and general signs of use but no major issues that I could find. The red agate is in excellent shape. The brass foot is full length. The reel is mechanically smooth. Erinoid handle. The reel packs into a black neoprene pouch for protection. A nice little classic trout reel.
