Edward Vom Hofe Restigouche 423 Fly Reel 2/0 8'2" just as he occasionally alteredAn excellent Edward Vom Hofe Restigouche Salmon Reel, model 423, in 2 0 size. 3 5 8" diameter with a 1 7 8" frame width (recall that Restigouche models did not always follow the standard Vom Hofe sizing conventions and this one is slightly larger than a "standard" 2 0). Set up for RHW. Philadelphia era. Superb original condition. The frame has some minor and normal discoloration spots but no dings, noticeable scratches, or other evidence of much use.
