Ted Godfrey Bimetal Model 255 Fly Reel 7'11" The reel's adjustable drag system

The reel's adjustable drag system is very strong

No brassing to the inside of the guides on one tip

The butt female has a 1950's style ferrule plug but the one for the mid female is missing (I can make you one for a small additional charge)

Built from pre-embargo cane by Tom Moran and Callum Gladstone this rod was part of a limited run of 25

This Hunt is marked serial #80142 and is an excellent example of the high quality rods that Leonard produced when Tom and I worked there in the late 1970's and early 1980's
