Our Brass Raised Pillar Reel Kit features a classic style that nicely compliments any rod. The brass frame is 20% thicker than our standard reel kits and you can choose black or white Delrin™ spool side plates, hub and handle. The reel includes our click check mechanism but can also be assembled as a silent check reel if you prefer. This 3" diameter (measured from top of pillar-to-pillar) is designed for 4 to 5 weight rods but can be used with a 3 weight as well. The reel can be used in either left-hand or right-hand retrieve without modification. The completed reel weighs 5.1oz/145gm.
