– Color: Champagne (elegant metallic finish)
– Retrieve: Right-handed (can often be switched to left-hand retrieve)
– Drag: Simple, adjustable click-and-pawl system (traditional, smooth sound)
– Construction: Machined aluminum (durable yet lightweight)

– Modern Alternative: ORVIS’s current “Battenkill Click” reel is the closest successor.
If you’re looking to buy one, check for smooth spool rotation, minimal corrosion, and intact drag clicks. Let me know if you need help assessing a listing!
