Otto Zwarg Laurentian 400 Fly Reel 2/0 Vintage Fly Tackle Cap and ring reel seatA nice Otto Zwarg Model 400 Laurentian salmon fly reel in 2 0 size. Set up for RHW. Excellent condition, free of any issues and very clean throughout with good sideplates, frame, spool, etc. An early St. Petersburg, Florida model made in 1948, the first year after the move from Brooklyn and bearing serial number C438. The number "1" has been stamped on the handle. Smooth, unmolested foot. The reel is very smooth and the drag is surprisingly powerful.
