Our Deluxe II reels are made in the old American tradition of Edward vomHofe reels with ebonite rubber side plates, 18% nickel silver protective side bands and an assortment of bronze, aluminum and stainless steel components. This is the reel that put SARACIONE on the map as a high grade collectable reel. We started making Deluxe reels in 1990. The first Deluxe models being made out of black Delrin plastic with stainless steel side bands.The reel evolved into the Deluxe II around 1994 when we incorporated the original ebonite rubber material for side plates and nickel silver for side bands. This is not a reproduction of the vomHofe reels but more of a vomHofe style reel. The drag system on the trout models is a preset gear and pawl drag, precisely set to control spool overrun. The assembly of spool-to frame fit is controlled with an adjustable side play mechanism like those found on better bait casting reels. These reels are the perfect match for high grade bamboo rods where the "Classic- S- handle" reel just looks and feels at home. Every reel is delivered with a fitted reproduction vomHofe style leather case made for us by Arne Mason of Ashland, Oregon.
