How have you been it's been a long time from the last time we had spoke and thanks for chiming in here in regard to this reel. Any info you can continue to produce re: Silent Check Perfect of the 3in type would be much appreciated. I think the 3 reels you spoke of are of the larger size if I am not mistaken and lack the counter balance with red agate. So this takes us back to square one, most likely a one off reel.

Mallard210green,
What an amazing reel and probably one of the rarest Perfect's I have seen! What I think we have here is a prototype. The fact that it's a 3in silent check Perfect is even more amazing, could be 1 of 1. The normal prototype came in at 3-1/2" and lacked a counter balance and red agate line guide. I remember hearing about this reel but this... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (stefanduma) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/133050 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 17:50:09 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/132986/t/-quot-Perfect-quot-Perfect-.html#reply-132986 What an amazing reel and probably one of the rarest Perfect's I have seen!

Very good question and I have often wondered the same thing since the prototype that I have of a similar style but with the single brake shoe circa 1946 does not have roller bearings and is just as smooth operating as the one with rollers.......so my guess is Stan realized very soon that for the style of reel he was making there was not a noticeable benefit to having the rollers?

I don't recall ever seeing another fly reel use roller bearings in this fashion?
