Weighing 8.6 oz. without line or backing.   Right Hand Wind (RHW) Serial number A676 (I believe this reel was built around 1991) The reel is in really good condition with only minor wear marks.

It was then that Ted Juracsik introduced his first Anti-Reverse Tarpon Reel designated the Billy Pate. No other reel has matched the Billy Pate’s durability and dependability day in day out, year after year, regardless of conditions, locale or species. This precision piece of equipment is designed and constructed to withstand the most demanding fly fishing environments. While there are over 350 World Records that attest to its performance, you don’t have to be interested in records to appreciate this reel. If you know your fly fishing history, you know this is the reel that set the hook.
