A brand new, in original box, with all original paperwork, Old Mariner 12, extra heavy, saltwater fly reel. Right hand retrieve. Arguably the most impressive drag system on the market. Designed for the biggest, baddest and angriest saltwater fish on the planet.
Built in Florida by Paul Conover, who originally cut his teeth at Fin Nor, before starting the ‘Old Florida’ reel company, which was later sold, and became Nautilus. He is credited with being one of the original designers of the sealed drag systems used in saltwater worldwide, when he released the original ‘Old Florida Nautilus’.
This is a new reel, and is a current model as of 2026.
