Henschel Dual Mode #2 Reel 7'6" showing evidence of use specificallyA Henschel Dual Mode #2 fly reel, 3. 38" diameter and set up for RHW. The reel weighs 11. 4 ounces with a line and backing loaded on it. Made in Germany. I believe this was machined from Titanium for extra corrosion resistance. Dual mode drag with porting on both sides and a "foot forward" design. Good used condition with few nicks on the frame edge from use. The drag is adjusted via a dial under the handle. Designed to hold #7 and #8 lines and
