beautiful looking reel WarrenP....all these Medalist posts lately has me rooting around in the tradin' stock....found a 1495 DA, noticed it was right hand crank, changed it quickly to left hand crank and now I 'spose I'll have to lovingly clean, hone and lightly lube it....then line it and find something to fasten it to. It's well used so I wouldn't want to use it for steel...lmb and smb I think...back up for the 7wt. maybe.
Thanks for the inspiration !
Cheers,
