mystery reel in cabelas 2013 flyfishing catalogue

[lil_man72]

i know it's a long shot, but trying to id the reel on page 172. it's the one the lady is holding not the cheap plastic one the boy is using. i also know it's not a classic reel but i can't match it to any modern reels being sold right now.

Well LM,

You get points for getting me to look. With only the rear pillar of the reel and a glimpse of the back plate, I can't even wager a guess.

Good Luck with this one, TT

I would look too but that catalog has not survived recycling purging. Scan and post and image?

 

[caseywise]

yeah, i don't have the catalog either, but wouldn't mind seeing the picture in question
the game is afoot!

i don't have a way to scan the pic. i could take a pic with my camera and post but the catalog is in my crane at work.

 

[lacanadio]

Not the best image in the world, but...

Bob

 

[lil_man72]

that's the one i'm talking about. that's probably what my pic would look like.

 

[dhaynes]

Hard to say what it is as the detail is blurred... But I will say that my wife fishes with a "low-end" Sage reel with a bulky drag adjuster that appears similar to the one in the photo...

I'm guessing a Sage 3850CF. They have that bulky drag knob, comes in silver color with a black carbon fiber spool.

Randy,
That looks close enough to be it, to me.


lacanadio,
Nice job on the enlargement, you didn't have a lot to work with there.

Now all that’s left is to guess the exact rod model she’s carrying and her D.O.B.

 

[sweetandsalt]

Provacativly, I bet it is a Cabelas Chinese reel that looks a little like a lot.

 

[caseywise]

i'm thinkin a sage 3800R CF

casey

 

[sweetandsalt]

Good eye, Casey, that is a real strong possibility.

 

[newby]

Yeah, but the reel Casey posted is a 3850 CF .

 

[stl_geoff]

yeah I just looked at the catalog, definitly the sage reel. I have one, its pretty nice.

 

[lil_man72]

that's the one. thanks to everyone that helped.
