Signature Series 8550C, RH, Tarpon Spool, New in Box + Papers SOLD 4495 USD

This offering is yet another from a collection of Charlton Reels that have never been lined or used, and kept in their original packaging.

8500 .8, RH, New with Jack Charlton’s signature 5995 USD

The Signature Series reels, the flagship models of Charlton Outdoor Technologies, Inc., offered the option for the owner to engrave their own signature on the drag knob.

This reel is mint, save for a small blemish on the outside of the frame. This has been photographed, and while not deep it is through the anodizing. Other than this mark the reel has never been used, and is otherwise mint.

This 8500 .8, perhaps the most popular of the original Signature Series lineup, is in mint condition. Its handle has been oiled, and remains in perfect condition per Jack’s original instructions.

Signature Series 8400 1.2, matte finish, two extra spools SOLD $4495 SOLD

The 8400 .8 was produced in low numbers, and the 1.2 version of this reel was even rarer; perhaps only the 8400 1.6 was manufactured in lower quantities.

8350C, matte finish, both spools, the first produced SOLD $2995 SOLD

The first 8350C produced, after early prototypes, was this reel. It features the rare matte finish discussed above, and as such is doubly rare example of Charlton history. The 8350 was a very popular size, and this one comes with both the 1-5 and the 1-2 spools.

Signature Series 8550C, matte finish, with both the offshore and the Spey spools SOLD $6495 SOLD

Another example of the matte finish, this time on the 8550C with both the offshore and the Spey spools. These two spools are the rarest and most sought after of the spools for the 8550C frame, and as a set they represent a unique example of a Charlton frame/spool set that was only produced in this finish and configuration once.

Signature Series 8600B, matte finish, with Judy Charlton’s signature SOLD $6495

Early on, Charlton Outdoor Technologies, Inc. offered the Thin-Line series of reels in a matte finish.

Signature Series 8550C with offshore spool, Judy Charlton’s signature SOLD 5495 USD SOLD

Judy’s personal 8550C, with the finned offshore spool. A perfect example of the 8550C, bearing Judy Charlton’s signature, never lined or fished. Ships with the original pouch.
