Default Searchin' for Fly stuff and found this...

I was just playin' around lookin' for the selling
prices of the rods I happen to own, though I would
never sell another, since they came to me via dad.
I thought it was neat to see that George had his
own reel line through a major manufacturer. And
then came across the ******* rod. I really never
had any serious dealings with George, so I hold no
ill-will toward him, not that it would matter much
if I did except that it would show how very
strange I *really* am, considerin' he is somewhat
deceased.

55576. MARRYAT MADE GEHRKE REEL. 3-1/8". MR 8A
FLY REEL. Barely used, near mint condition
example of the Original George Gehrke Reel made
for Gehrke, U.S.A. by Marryat before they
brought out the same reel completely under
their own name. This private label lasted less
than a year in the early 1980's, so these
original Gehrke World Supreme marked Marryats
are really very rare and collectible. This is
the same reel as the later model Marryats.
Reversible. Adjustable drag. Rim control.
Counter-balanced spool with exceptionally large
line capacity for a small reel. Gold finish.
Now set up left hand wind. Comes WITH AN EXTRA
SPOOL in a Double Decker Suede reel case. N/M.
$250.00.
