Signature Series Titanium 8500 1.6 SOLD SOLD

Judy Charlton’s SST, an 8500 1.6. This reel was the tenth titanium made, and Jack made it especially for Judy. The custom leather case bears Judy Charlton’s name. The reel itself features the Charlton crest on the drag knob.

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.
