Thomas and Thomas 25th Anniversary Reel 7'4" For some reasonA Thomas and Thomas 25th Anniversary reel made by Bill Ballan for the company in 1994. 2 5 8" diameter and with a neutral bias to the retrieve. The reel weighs 7. 6 ounces on my scale. Good used condition with some moderate rim rash to the frame edge and significant pitting to the backplate. "Thomas and Thomas", "25th Anniversary", and "#4 of 50" etched into the backplate. The reel comes in a felt lined wooden presentation case.
