Julius Vom Hofe - Size 4 Platewind Fly Reel 2 Weight Excellent++ used condition with aftermarketFor sale here is a scarce size 4 Julius Vom Hofe Platewind fly reel. 2 1 8" diameter and 15 16" wide spool. Fixed click check is nice and strong and favors left hand retrieve. The hard rubber rims have some chips but the reel feels very solid nonetheless. Mechanically this reel operates very nicely and would look great on a small stream bamboo rod!
