Bought these 2 Battenkills 25 years ago to use in my guide service. Excellent decision as they were in service for 20 years with no issues. Mechanically they are excellent, the reels do have a little boat rash, after 20 yrs to be expected, but not bad. They were made in England and have disc drags. They come with their original Orvis reel covers and about 100 yds. of 20 l.b backing. One is a 7/8, the other is an 8/9. Both are disc drags. $70.00 each plus shipping
