Vintage Fly Reels
Collectors of vintage fly reels have an appreciation or interest in classic fly fishing culture from England and the United States. They also appreciate the craftsmanship and mechanics of an old reel. The first fly reels were made in the mid 19th century and they have evolved quite a bit over time. Some famous makers that collectors seek include Hardy, S.E. Bogdan, Meek & Sons, Orvis and Pflueger to name a few. Check out the vintage fly rod page as well as vintage fishing lures page as well.
