Hi Marlinmate,

What you have there is a pre-production field test Fathom II LD reel.  FT16 =  #16 Field Test reel.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

Tony beat me to it!
In the more distant past, the "FT#" was etched with an engraving tool, and looked pretty rough.

Who says there's no such thing as a modern collectors item? That's kinda cool.
