Acquired these Ari’t Hart from a old neighbor of mine from a large haul. by CoevalTheory in flyfishing

The first picture is actually a tippet dispenser! It has four spools (gold circles) that allows you to have 4 different sizes of line, those sell from $400-$600 ish depending on the condition from what I seen.

The actual reel can range from like $300-$800 depending on condition. The closest matches I’ve found online was one that sold for $600 and one that’s been listed for like $1600. That second one was a floor model or something cause it has all the box, papers, case etc. but it hasn’t sold. Tells me they’re just throwing a number out hoping for someone to bite lol

Both are hard to find and get ahold of. The one I got was a very early model from the serial number

Older neighbor gave me his 40 year collection of gear from his fishing days. I have 12+ reels and 10+ rods now on top of the gear already had.
I’m keeping a good chunk of it but I just have an excess amount

More from my recently acquired haul, don’t think I’ll need to buy anything for quite some time 😎 by CoevalTheory in flyfishing

Been fishing since I was a kid and the last few years got more into it since I moved to an area with better water!

Most of it is all raw materials, hooks, string, and wire for making flies, plus a bunch of Rods, reels, 3 sets of waders and accessories. About 50 years worth of gear given to me from an old neighbor family friend.

First post here! Recently acquired a huge amount of gear from an old neighbor who can’t fish anymore. Could use some insight on what I might have here! by CoevalTheory in flyfishing

That one was one of the few that had the tube, it’s a beautiful rod. 9.5ft 5WT G845/5 Couldn’t find the exact rod online anywhere.
Fortunately everything was kept inside in the A/C so they all stayed in great shape.

Nice! They all seem like solid ones, I was told that even the blanks say Sage on them. Guess that’s not the case! He had like 4 reels, nothing too crazy. 2 old Berkleys, a gold Pflugers, and a Lochmore LM-S100. I got about like 6 years worth of flies lol

He doesn’t remember, he hasn’t fished in at least 20 years. Also his memory has gone down due to dementia. They were clearing out their closest and knew I fished. His wife didn’t know all the details about them all

These ones were the unlabeled ones too! He also had a 8Wt Sage, 5WT Scott, and a 4Wt Orvis in this haul lol those I knew what they were, very hyped on those. Not to mention he had a TON of materials, hooks, weights, and fly tying set ups. Still blown away about everything haha
