This is the largest of the Billy Pate series which includes the Trout, Salmon, Bonefish, Marlin, and Bluefin models. Very smooth and powerful adjustable drag with audible click both ways. Direct drive. Right hand retrieve (not convertible). Anodized aluminum construction for full saltwater compatibility. Specs: Diameter 5 1/2" Width (inner) 1 1/8" Weight 22.20 oz. Condition is near perfect, with a small amount of boat rash when originally used (not by myself) Can discuss international postage as this item is extremely rare. I am also selling another one so a deal for the pair can be discussed. Thanks for looking!
