This is one of Joe's highly regarded bench made reels

The rod is packed in a yellow cloth bag with Ron's hang tag attached

Frame width is 1 5/16"

The grip is 11 corks and is done in what I would call a Hawes style (it tapers up most of the way to the front cork check and turns down just before the end)

The result is a unique look that stands out from the fly-rod crowd yet blends in with natural surroundings on the water
