No reel case. Both models feature an excellent disc friction drag system and exposed rim for added control. Counter balanced spool. Reel case not included. These new machined Supreme fly reels from Pflueger are truly beautiful to look at and great to use.
Reels have gold anodized finish.
The model 1834 has a spring drag. The models 1856 and 1878 have adjustable disc drags. Since the 1940's Pflueger Medalist fly reels have been the benchmark by which all modestly priced fly reels have been judged. These reels are still among the highest demand fly reels and the the most used of any fly reel. They are very reliable and carry a one year's warranty.
