Charlton SST 8500 1.2, Signature Series Titanium on request

This reel is a beautiful example of the Signature Series Titanium made by Jack and Judy in the early days of Charlton Outdoor Technologies, Inc…
Signature Series 8500 1.2, Jack Samson Signature 6995 USD

This 8500 1.2 is an early example of the Signature Series, prior to the change to carbon fiber as the braking material. The reel was owned by and used by one….
Signature Series 8500 1.2, RH, with Jack Charlton’s Signature, New in Box + Papers + Extra Spool 7795 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. Many were, and those with the signatures of famed anglers and guides have offered collectors an opportunity to own a reel that bears the signature of the original owner.
8500 1.2, RH with an extra spool, New in Box 4695 USD

This is yet another example of an unused, never fished Charlton reel. It ships exactly as it did on the day it left Charlton Outdoor Technologies, Incorporated. For a collector wanting to display the spool along with an assembled reel, or an angler wishing to “fish one and save one”, this would be a perfect opportunity.
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.
8600B Spare Spool 1895 USD

This is a rare find: a never used spool for an 8600B in right-hand wind. The largest size of the Charlton Reels lineup, the 8600B was a favorite at first of off offshore and tarpon fisherman before being discovered by Spey fisherman.
8350C 1,500 USD (RECENTLY REDUCED FROM $1,800)

Another recent addition to the our Charlon offerings, this reel needs no introduction. Featuring the popular 1-5 spool, this reel is ready for any light freshwater use on rods from 1-6 weights.
Signature Series 8400 1.6, Matte Finish, Two Handles, No Logo 6995 USD

There are very few reels that come across our desk that we haven’t seen before. One of these is this beautiful 8400 1.6 in a rare satin-matte finish. Made without the Charlton crest that adorned all reels except those that bore the signature of the buyer, the effect is elegant and understated on such a rare size and finish.

Signature Series Titanium 8500 1.2, with Jack Charlton’s signature SOLD SOLD

This is the first Signature Series Titanium reel ever produced, and Jack Charlton engraved his own signature on the drag knob and filled it with 18k gold—standard for all signatures applied to the titanium models. The reel has never been fished, and is in pristine condition.
8500 1.6 Spool only SOLD $695 SOLD

A very rare spool, looking for a home. We are hoping that someone who uses their 8500 1.6 might purchase this spare spool to use with or replace one that is being used. The price reflects our desire to have this in the hands of someone still fishing their 1.6.
Elite Series 8400 .8 SOLD $2995 SOLD

The Elite Series was made to be a more affordable option instead of the Signature Series, and the two were produced at the same time. Most buyers, however, were not deterred by the slightly higher price for the Signature Series and as such the Elite Series was produced in very small quantities.
Signature Series 8400 .8 SOLD $3495 SOLD

A very early 8400 .8, and one of the few reels in Jack and Judy’s collection of reels that is set up for left-hand wind. A perfect example of an unused 8400 .8 with the original cork drag.
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.
