| 8450C 7/8 Spool, with a Spare Spool SOLD |  |
Price: 2200 USD | The 8450 was the most popular of the Charlton reels built for trout. The 8350 was small (3” in diameter), perhaps most suited for rod weights 1-4, and the Signature Series 8400’s were slightly heavy for a trout-weight setup. |
| 8550C Bonefish Spool LH |  |
3200 USD | Another used but well-maintained 8550C, this one featuring the bonefish spool. Perhaps too ahead of its time when it was first introduced, this spool and frame combination may actually be the best bonefish reel ever produced. |
| 8550C Tarpon Spool LH |  |
3750 USD | This is a great example of the popular 4.5-inch 8550C reel, featuring the mid-arbor tarpon spool. Of the four spools made for the 8550C frame, this one would have perhaps the largest number of applications. |
| Signature Series 8500 1.2, RH SOLD |  |
3895 USD | As pristine as the day it shipped from the factory, this 8500 1.2 is in mint condition. For a collector looking to add this reel to their shelf or an angler looking to rig and fish a mint Charlton reel, this is a perfect opportunity. |
| Signature Series 8550C, Tarpon Spool, RH SOLD |  |
4495 USD | An early example of the 8550C with the tarpon spool, this reel has never been lined or fished. Part of a collection being sold, it includes the original box, case and factory paperwork. |
| Signature Series 8550C, Tarpon Spool, RH SOLD |  |
4495 USD | The tarpon spool was produced for tarpon fisherman, though its mid-arbor size means it has broad applications beyond its intended purpose. |
| Signature Series 8550C, Offshore Spool, RH SOLD |  |
4995 USD | Of all the spools available for the 8550C frame, the offshore spool is surely the most interesting. The cooling, directional fins and ported interior of the spool look like something H.R. Giger |
| 8550C Bonefish Spool, Spool only SOLD |  |
900 USD | This spool, while produced in the largest quantities of all the available spools for the 8550C, was ahead of its time. The handle placement on the interior of the spool face created a multiplying effect as the angler retrieved line |
| 8550C, Spey Spool, Spare Spool Only LH SOLD |  |
1995 USD | These spools were, by far, produced in the lowest numbers of the four available for the 8550C. It has a small arbor to hold the largest of Spey lines along with the requisite backing, and second to the 8600B an 8550C with this spool has the largest capacity of any Charlton reel. |
| Signature Series 8550C with Both Offshore and Bonefish Spool SOLD |  |
6495 USD | Another example of a never-used Charlton reel, this is a great chance to buy one reel that will cover all rod weights from 8-12 with two spools. The bonefish spool features a large arbor and a handle that’s attached to the interior of the spool, creating a multiplying effect on the retrieve. |
