Used Orvis CFO 1-2-3 Spool Green
$ 165.00
SKU CalTrout-60This spool is in excellent shape. The only downside is that it does not come with a reel case or a box. There is an old fly line and backing on this spool, but we do not know the specific model. Accompanying this with one of the other reels, and you would have a sick set up for different lines and styles of fishing! this spool was graded an A.
The Orvis CFO III (often labeled as CFO 123 in earlier or transitional versions) made in England is a highly regarded piece of fly fishing history. Manufactured by Hardy for Orvis, this reel exemplifies classic British craftsmanship with its lightweight, ventilated frame and traditional click-and-pawl drag system. Designed for light line weights—typically 2 to 4 weight—it’s especially favored by small-stream anglers for its balance, feel, and simplicity.
The "Made in England" engraving marks it as part of the earlier, more collectible run before production moved elsewhere. With its understated design, silky retrieve, and historic pedigree, the English-made CFO 123 is a reel that blends function with legacy, often passed down through generations or prized by collectors for its role in the golden era of American and British fly fishing.
