A nice Otto Zwarg Saguenay Model 300 salmon fly reel in 3/0 size. RHW. 3 5/8" diameter with a 1 7/16" spool width and a weight of 10.8 ounces. Single action retrieve. Serial number K53 indicating a 1955 manufacture date, made in St. Petersburg eight years after the move from Brooklyn. This reel is in excellent overall condition with some minor cosmetic wear to the rims, minor chewing of two screw heads, and a little residue to the inner part of the spool (which I suspect could be cleaned off). The sideplates look like they have been carefully cleaned at some point as they are moderately shiny, though whoever did it was careful not to go overboard. All in all, the reel is in excellent condition. Nice smooth drag which is perfect throughout the seven positions. As head of reel making for Vom Hofe, Zwarg worked with the world class fisherman who followed him when he was granted the right to make the Vom Hofe style reels under his own name. If you weigh Vom Hofe and Zwarg reels of the same size, you will find the Zwargs are slightly heavier, owing to Zwarg's use of heavier internal gearing and braking. No bag or pouch. This is a fine example of a model 300 Zwarg.
