Billy Pate Marlin Fly Reel 3-Piece There is a tiny bit

There is a tiny bit of edge wear to the butt cap but that is the only discernible sign of use I can find

We rarely see them on the secondary market because their owners admire them so much

Comes with original suede case and hang tag (the owner's name on the tag was photoshopped out in our first photo)

I believe this is either a model 201 or 202
