The A&NCSL 2 1/2" Reel is a rare and refined example of early British fly reel craftsmanship, produced for the prestigious Army & Navy Co-operative Society Ltd. Known for outfitting military officers and sportsmen alike, A&N reels were often sourced from top makers of the era and reflect the quality and elegance expected by discerning anglers. This 2 1/2" model features a solid brass or alloy frame (depending on the variant), a smooth click-pawl drag, and a ventilated spool—all wrapped in a compact, balanced design ideal for light trout fishing. With its understated Edwardian-era styling and historical provenance, the A&N CSL 2 1/2" reel is both a functional tool and a prized collectible—a tangible link to the golden age of fly fishing. This reel is in excellent refurbished condition.
