Early fly and casting reels with names like Hardy, Vom Hofe, Conroy, Meek, and Milam have received the lion’s share of collector attention and can be expensive (reels by Pflueger, Shakespeare, South Bend, Bronson, and others less so). Single action and multiplying fly reels are both eagerly sought. Casting reels (both level wind and non level wind) are also collected, and spinning reels have received some attention. Early English and European have sparked some interest, but the majority are unmarked or in less than perfect condition.
