What model is this?

[Marlinmate]

This reel only has FT16 printed on the bottom of the reel foot.  There are no other markings on this reel at all.   

The color is darker than any Fathom color out there.

Could this be a prototype?

Just guessing, wouldn't "FT" indicate a reel in one of the Fathom lines?

[Marlinmate]

I would say yes to the fathom line....but there isn't a 16 size?? 

[Porthos]

Looks like a variant of the FTHII10XNLD...single speed, narrow spool...

Are you sure it's not a NN3d 

[Marlinmate]

Turns out it is a field test reel!  Pretty cool

Neat piece, MM.  Wonder how it left the factory... send it to me and I'll make sure it gets to them.
Put her on a shelf and make her a shelf queen.
Best,
Dom
