Biker,
Is this for a yard sale?

A couple of those are on my list to try. Nice collection. In winter, I keep a few reels with line on them as decorations on furniture. I pull on them a bit every day since I enjoy hearing the sound of a good click payout.

[bikerfish]

Nice collection of reels.

I used to collect reels. When I was unemployed for 18 months in 2009/2010 I started Ebaying them. I did not understand why I was getting 50% above replacement cost new on quite a few Orvis reels.
Then I realized it was made in England competing with made in China.

Nice! I have a medalist and the first two reels(same reel?) in the fourth row in the first pic. Not sure on the name. I fished with them both once or twice but right now there just sitting in a shoebox in my room. I need to start fishin with them, and they're a lot cooler than these modern reels

Can I have your Heddon ;-)

I just bought an old Martin 61 for my Fenwick. I just have enough reels to use for my rods. Got one for my 5wt, one for my 6wt, one for my 7/8wt, and when I get 2/3wt glass, I'll have one for that.

I love old, loud reels.

What an amazing collection! You have very good taste! I am also very partial to American reels from the 1940s-60s. You seem to have quite a few of that vintage! Gorgeous stuff!

Way is that small reel the whole way to the right in the first row?

 

[boychick]

Tha is one hell of a collection!

pflueger progress 80, 1920's vintage I believe, sees regular use on my bamboo 3wt.
