ANTIQUE REELS

 Big Game, Kentucky & Fly Reels

Antique Reels is about American made antique fishing rods & reels, old fishing lures, the fun of collecting, and hopefully a way to help those who want to sell a reel or to learn more about reels they possess. You will find quality photos of rare reels by Sage, Milam, Meek, vom Hofe, Fin-Nor, Heddon, and many others.  Specializing in Salmon, Fly, Kentucky, and all early Big Game reels.
