| 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. |
