A scarce Ari T Hart S2 salmon / steelhead reel with a spare spool both in the early nickel plated form, 4" and set up for RHW. Serial #049, one of the earliest that Ari made before switching away from nickel plating, and very hard to find. Good used condition bordering on excellent, with some minor rash to the frame edge and some minor cosmetic wear here and there, though nothing especially noteworthy. The reel is very clean overall with none of the corrosion that you sometimes see on these early models (as is often the case with these, the flat black rubber gasket around the spools has age-related cracking, and there are no rubber rings on the handle). Mechanically the reel is excellent with a smooth click and good drag pressure on the outbound. Matte nickel plating throughout and the drag is adjusted via a dial on the back plate. Both spools are loaded with backing and line on them. Both the reel and spool come in their original ATH velvet cases. A rare reel.
