Ted was a gentle giant, a truly nice guy and a master at photography who produced one of the finest books on EVH reels that we will probably ever see. My sincerest condolences to Laurie on her loss. ...

What brand of sledgehammer did you use in this exercise? It appears to have done an excellent job, assuming you took no more than 3-4 blows to smash this fake Moscrop (Moscrap?) into something akin to ...

Titanium? Said seller admits to not knowing much about reels but knows this one is made from (drum roll, please!) "TITANIUM."
It's my understanding Pflueger only used Lithuanian for the Medalist and ...

Thanks for the plug, Gary! Laughing

I'd love to help Gary find an Eckmier reel and, like him, I'd like to see any literature, catalogs or Eckmier boxes that might be out there. These things seem prett ...

That's a great looking combination and it's good that you're planning to fish it. I hope you hook into a monster salmon and enjoy the ride!

That is very cool, Ron. Thanks for linking to the Montague stock certificate. That's the first I'd heard that Montague Rod & Reel Co. acquired Montague Oar & Paddle Corp., "manufacturers of T ...

Richard - You really know how to find the fish! I can relate to your Croc story, although my job still requires something approximating dress shoes. But after work and weekends? I put on the Tevas. Go ...

Thanks for sharing that, Ron. Neat story and a lot of interesting photos that show what was going on. Looks like a great river.

Why would that be a sin? I think it might be welcomed by Seamaster collectors or users, eh?

Aloha, Brian. You're right about there not being many references to Penn reels in The Reel News, at least since I've been editor. I would welcome an article and photos and/or good images from Penn cat ...

Great photos and excellent narrative. Thanks for sharing your excellent smallmouth fishing adventure with everyone on ReelTalk, Phil, Roger and Dave (and Fudge).
Very Happy

That's what you did, John. An amazing restoration job. I have to say that I am verrrrrry disappointed you didn't scrounge the antenna from a Dodge Dart at a local junkyard to replace the rusted-out st ...

I've never seen Dean plead and grovel like he is on this one! Laughing

Dean, you seem to uncover some of the coolest, most obscure fishing items in the world, but you're really giving it up for this b ...

I apologize for posting a question about a fishing, but not reel-related, item, but I though someone might be able to help me. I've had this oil painting of a leaping smallmouth bass, painted by Briti ...

Sorry, guys. Sometimes my day job takes... well... all day! Laughing

Hadn't checked Reel Talk for a day or so.
Phil (Reel Geezer ) is correct in his assessment. Winchester, then H-I, made reels marke ...

I added a number of photos and some information about clamp reels to my website today. Check it out and let me know what you think. And please let me know if you have any unusual skeleton fly reels or ...

This is a first attempt with a new web-building program. I've been wanting to put up a site with some of my skeleton fly reels for a while and thought I'd try it with weebly.com. Seems to be a pretty ...

Wrapping things up at the Lodge at Buckberry Creek on this Saturday evening. We had great weather this week (with the occasional downpour, followed by sunny blue skies), some excellent room trading, g ...

Thanks for the photos and story, Phil. When I'm feeling so deep in the weeds at work that I can't find the door at the end of the day, I enjoy reading your fish tales. I'm very glad you are enjoying t ...

Very neat Meisselbach, Dean. That's a great find and shows that it pays to dig deep into those boxes, whether it's at Lang's discovery auction or the roadside yard sale.
I think Phil is onto somethi ...

So I don't post for a week or two or three, but I check out the conversation when I come up for air at work. And you guys and gals! you brought tears to my eyes and a hearty laugh to my soul when I sa ...

Dave: this is a tremendous find. Thank you for doing the research and sharing this. I knew the brass skeleton reels were being knocked off somewhere in south Asia or thereabouts and this proves it. Th ...

Too bad about this reel. Haywood clamp reels are very scarce. This one has a replaced knob and yeh, ya gotta love the funky wire system for holding the front plate on the reel. Somebody went to a lot ...

A gentleman wrote to me asking for info on a deep sea reel. It's not an area I have much knowledge so I told him I'd post his note on ReelTalk and maybe one of you guys or gals can e-mail him and help ...

It was hard enough for me to convince my printer to stick that blue sheet of paper in the middle of the March Reel News. But the hardest thing was knowing that we have 4 great candidates for ORCA dire ...
