    Thanks Zach. Yes the wood spacer is really nice. The one I casted had a lighter yellow-ish spacer. So it looks like Scott uses different colored spacers rather than one specific spacer? This rod that I ordered came with this nice one so I’m happy!

    My Perfect is in great shape indeed. It’s one from the 1970’s. The really older Perfects in good shape are very expensive. Way too expensive for a reel that’s gotta do what it’s made for: fishing rather than being handsome behind glass. If you’re looking for a LHW then the search will be even more difficult. I for one prefer a LHW but if a RHW is more affordable, no problem here.

    I agree on the LHW Jay, and I can use RHW, but I’m just not used to it enough to like it.

    My Perfect has the agate eye, which is I think the nice touch to these ‘old era’ reels. But yes, if you get to land an agateless reel than you can use it both ways.

    I just need an unknown uncle who happen to be 60+ of age and has a love for fly fishing!
