UEDA CANTATA FLY REEL 2350 (Orvis CFO Clone) - asking $95

Made about 30 years ago by a Japanese enthusiast manufacturer in imitation of Orvis' CFO series, the workmanship is as high and accurate as Orvis'. Due to its construction from bar stock, this Cantata has a sharper clicking sound.

This 2350 model is about 3 1/8" in diameter, weighs 4.1 oz. Same diameter as the 2300 model but wider.  According to the manufacturer's catalog, it has a backing capacity of 80 yards on DT6F line and 100 yards on WF8F line.  I used it for WF5F to WF7F with extra backing.

​The reel has some reel rash. Letting go due to obtaining another 2350 with extra spools for my collection of Japanese Cantata reels.  Very versatile fly reel.  Cleaned, greased, oiled and ready to go!
