S-Series
Description:
Here is a super scarce Ari 't Hart S0 Light Salmon / Sea Trout fly reel. Not many nickel plated reels were made and they are near impossible to locate on the resale market, especially the S0 model.
The low serial number indicates that this reel was one of the first ever produced by ATH Design Holland.
Serial No.: 018
Color: Nickel plated / Silver
Set up for LHW / Weight: grams / Spool diameter: milimeters / Capacity: WF + 5m/ yd
Of particular interest to the collector:
The brake weel is equipped with a nice grooved rubber similar to a gearwheel (replaced later by a wheel made of aluminium).
Rubber lip in the spool front (indicates the very early production years).
One of my oldest, and rarest reels. The 'S' series were originally nickel plated, but unfortunately the saltwater got beneath the plating and started to lift the nickel. I believe they were recalled, and replaced with anodised versions, so very, very few nickel plated S0's still exist, and to find one in unused condition is nearly impossible
