Welcome! This web site is about
collecting antique fishing reels. I have been collecting old reels and other antique
tackle for over two decades, with a specialized interest in the history of reel design.
Along the way, I've written a couple of books on reel history and a couple of dozen
articles on a variety of topics related to antique reels.
The purposes of
publishing this site are to demonstrate some of the qualities of these old machines that
make them so interesting and to provide some information on collecting them. I hope you
enjoy "leafing through" these pages. If you have antique fishing reels that you
wish to trade or sell, please feel free to e-mail me. I usually have some reels available
for sale or trade, as well, so let me know what you may be looking for. In addition, I
always welcome information on interesting old reels.
