The Classic Fly Reel List

Quality Fly Reels from the Finest Makers

UPDATED May 13, 2020

Classic doesn't necessarily mean 'old' or 'vintage', though many of the reels offered on The List have a few years and many fish to their credit. The reels offered are all of high quality spanning all eras of manufacture. From early reels by Edward Vom Hofe and Hardy, through post-WWII Pfluegers and Heddon Imperials, to today's custom bench-made and bespoke reels, The List may seem eclectic at first. However, every reel offered has one quality in common with all others on The List: it is a well made and enjoyable fly reel.
