Video of the Week
A classic IGFA video featuring a massive Penn Reel in action.



Things I Would Buy If Only I Could Afford Them
This is a strange Bretton 902 French spinning reel.


This Master-Kaster No. 3 Pump Action Reel is a rare bird indeed.


This is a super neat 1914 Shakespeare casting reel.


This is a super cool old Martin Automatic fly reel and box.


This is an absolutely GORGEOUS Julius vom Hofe fly reel.


A nifty Granger fly rod is driving the W&M collectors insane.


The Rhodes Mechanical Frog is on the short list of classic frog baits.


A classic Orvis fly reel is one of the truly great fly reels of all time.


This VERY early Wes Jordan-made Orvis Battenkill was made for gunmaker Eugene Reising.


Of all bamboo fly rod makers, Hiram Hawes is my absolute favorite. As Wes Jordan once said, "I never saw a Hawes rod that wasn't perfect."


A CCBC Special Dace Dingbat is a really rare find.


This 1903 Harris Reel NEVER, EVER comes up for sale.


As always, have a great weekend, and be good to each other, and yourself.
