Measures 3 " diameter with a 1 3/4 " wide spool. Comes with the bickerdyke line guide and sun - patented Slater check switch. Additionally comes with a quick spring loaded spool release. Made of mahogany and brass. This model also comes custom crafted with an inner spool wall made of aluminum as well as an outer face aluminum reel protector. All custom Heaton reels made with aluminum accents are considered desirable and scarce, if not rare. The outer aluminum reel face ring has wear from being against the rocks or the bottom of a boat. There is a stress crack behind the the front aluminum reel face as well, but it isn't too large or all the way across. Overall one of my favorite reels made by Heaton. *** FOUR pictures in total.
