Vintage Browning 5230 Reel



Here is my newest vintage reel, the Browning 5230.  Great match for my Browning 322980, 8' glass rod....  Can't wait to get this set out on the river this weekend!


Thanks to all of the members on Fiberglass Flyrodders site for their help choosing this reel.  I can always count on the members on FFR to steer me in the right direction.

  1. Great stuff. I just bought a Silaflex 322980 thanks to your post and Cornwall’s wonderful article. Now hunting for a vintage reel to match. I do have an old made in England Orvis Battenkill disc 7/8 that is probably from the same era that will do in a pinch ;-)
