For sale here is an early Ari 't Hart S3 fly reel in good used condition. Sporting the 1st generation nickel finish and the low serial number of 027. The reel features ported frame and spool, oversized handle grasp and solid reel foot. Strong adjustable drag with on/off clicker. The nickel finish on these early reels wasn't very durable, and this reel has the scratches/light flaking that you tend to see. The spool counterbalance and the reel foot have yellowing epoxy where they are mounted. 4 3/8" frame diameter with a spool width of 1", the reel weighs 13.5oz. Suitable for most 10/11wt fishing, it would also balance a 2-handed rod nicely. The reel packs into a dark suede pouch and wooden box with sliding lid and original instruction manual.
