here you go, Cameron,
the only reels I have that fit are my Young-made Battenkill Featherweight and Flyweight.
Not complaining - these reels are both perfect with the rod.

here you go, Mark - 2 variants, the Featherweight and Flyweight.
There was also a Lightweight Wide. These were made by JW Young for Orvis for just a few years in the early 70s.
They are great little reels.
The Flyweight is a Baby Pridex at 2-3/4"; the Featherweight is a Baby Beaudex at 3-1/8"". The Lightweight is 3-1/4" wide drum.
