Signature Series 8550C, RH, Tarpon Spool, New in Box + Papers 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 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, LH, Blemish SOLD 2895 USD

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.

8500 .8, RH, New In Box SOLD 2995 USD

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.

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.

(Spare Spool) Signature Series 8550C Spey Spool, Matte Finish SOLD 1000 USD SOLD

This is a very rare spool, in a very rare finish. There weren’t many Signature Series reels made in the matte finish, to begin with, and probably very few spools featured this gorgeous addition. This reel appears unused, and we’ve looked very closely for any sign of wear.

Signature Series 8550C with both the Tarpon spool and the Spey pool SOLD 4300 USD SOLD

This 8550C comes with two spools: the ever popular tarpon spool as well as the tarpon spool. Both show signs of use, though both have been impeccably cared for. There are no marks on the frame that we can find, and only a tiny (and we do mean tiny) mark on the edge of the Spey spool.

Signature Series 8500 1.6 engraving “Jim Vincent ‘Speyman’” SOLD 5000 USD

The 8500 .8 and 1.2 were popular reels, though the former was made in quantities much larger than the latter. The 1.6 was the scarce cousin of these two reels and was made in truly low numbers.

Signature Series 8450C with all three spools SOLD $2150 SOLD

Signature Series 8600B SOLD $2150 SOLD

This reel was part of Jacks personal collection, and is a used reel. It is an early model cork drag reel, likely produced in 1995. The reel comes with its original pouch.
