A colleague has the following reel that he has asked me to sell on his behalf.
However I have no knowledge of the reel so I am seeking more information and a rough valuation if I were to offer it for sale (on the Forum at first).

The reel is made by J W Young & Sons Ltd. - The Jubilee 5350 31/2" Wide Fly Reel. It comes in a box, as can be seen, which has some damage due to removal if a sticker I assume. There id a sticker on the side giving the above details of the reel. There is nothing else in the box, other than the reel, are there instructions, parts list missing.?

The reel has been loaded with backing and a WF7 floating line, hence the orange colours in the pictures, but the line will be removed prior to sale. The reel has never been fished with.







Does anyone have any further information or guide to value?

Thanks in advance.

Brian,

If you haven't sold it yet, put it on ebay, making sure that it is available worldwide, with a reserve of £60-£80.

The Jubilee is a very popular model in the US, and I have seen them go for around $200.

I personally think it's one of the best reels that Young's ever made.

Here's my 3" version:

Nice reel
I think Youngs reels are very under rated.
I use them for the majority of my river trouting.
Prices are going up, did anyone see the Valdex on ebay make £150.
