I’ve come to the realization that I have more fly fishing stuff than I will ever use. So, just trying to trim down a bit.
For sale: Two Orvis Battenkill Disc reels. These are Orvis’ latest model Battenkill reels. I have owned earlier model Orvis Battenkill reels in the past and really enjoyed them…These new reels are definitely a step up in both looks as well as performance. Machined from Aluminum bar stock and anodized in what they call an “black nickel” finish. It is quite attractive in my opinion. These disc drag models retail for $189.
Battenkill I reel: 1-3 Wt line, New, never been fished, had 20 lb backing put on then put back in box…4.4 oz., 2.75” in diameter. $145 shipped.
Battenkill II reel: 3-5 Wt line, has 5WT line on it, but that is not for sale…I will leave the backing on it for the purchaser to use if they wish. I may have used this reel once(can’t remember). It has a very tiny mark on the reel foot. It is tiny but it is there. It will easily be covered when reel is mounted on a rod. Other than that, it is perfect…3.0” in diameter, 4.6 oz………$145 shipped. I also have an extra spool for this reel. It has one tiny mark on the rim edge……$40 if purchased with the reel. $50 shipped if purchased separately…Retail is $80 for extra spools.
These reels are very nice! They have an audible(yet tasteful) click on both line in and out and the disc drag is very nice with virtually no startup inertia!
Both reels will come in original box with neoprene reel case and paperwork.
That’s about $45 off retail for each reel + no shipping/tax.
