Ted Godfrey Paradigm Malleo Fly Reel 11'3" Leonard Model 50M-6 bamboo rodA nice Ted Godfrey Paradigm Malleo fly reel, 2 3 4" diameter and set up for LHW. Near mint condition with just a few tiny traces of use. The reel couldn't have been fished more than a time or two. S handle design with nickel silver rims and polished black sideplates. The spool and sideplates on the cranking side are ventilated. The reel weighs 5. 3 ounces on my scale. Designed to hold a DT5 and 25 yards of backing. The disc drag is nice and smooth and
