Very lightly used (I only used it for 2-3 sessions several years ago for winter steelhead). It would make great reel for 7+ wt two-hand rods that need a heavier reel to balance things out. Pouch, no box.
Here's what the official description says: Even though fly reels are becoming lighter and lighter, there is a portion of the fly fishing community that requires something a bit more robust to better balance their longer rods. The Animas S has been designed to that end with the Spey, Switch, and Saltwater fishermen in mind. It is machined with a solid, one piece large-arbor spool devoid of porting, and a matching frame with a minimal amount of porting. This adds mass to the overall reel, allowing for proper balance when paired with a variety of two-handed rods. The Animas S is based on the proven Animas platform, and shares all the same internal componentry as well as the color-accented fully-machined aluminum handle, drag knob, and spool release. The newly-improved drag delivers two times the pressure of the previous Animas, giving its Teflon-impregnated, saltwater-safe Delrin disc system the strength and smoothness that big water anglers are looking for.
Spec's according to Ross: Width=2.32"; Height=4.63"; Weight=11.55oz.
It currently has around 200yds of 50lb PowerPro that I'll leave on there (I had it rigged with 500yds of 50lb PP plus 500gr sinking line for tuna, but never used it for such).
looking for $295 OBO shipped. PayPal preferred (I'll cover PP costs).
