Edward Vom Hofe Model 413 Cascapedia Size 5/0 Fly Reel - LHW 14' black ghostsFor sale here is a very rare Edward Vom Hofe Model 413 fly reel (before it was called the Cascapedia model beginning circa 1911). The Model 413 was a landmark single action, fixed drag reel that was phased out in 1921. In the early years, this size was designated as 5 0 (became 6 0 in 1911). The reel is in excellent condition. It is also left hand retrieve, whether it was originally made this way is unknown to me. This reel carries the Jan 23, 1883
