Description

A comprehensive guide to 40 years of collectible Swedish-made fishing reels. Swedish-made fishing reels are collected all over the globe and are among the most prized in the category. Names such as ABU, Arjon, River, Pebeco, W.D., Nordic, Rainbow, Radius, and Victory make nearly every reel collector perk up his ears. There are several international collector clubs dedicated to the Ambassadeur alone, and many models bring top dollar at the auction block. This book contains background information on every Swedish-made fishing reel manufacturer and discusses every production model made between 1940 and 1980. It includes baitcasters, spinning, and fly reels. With over 675 color photographs, vintage advertisements, and patent drawings, plus a guide to current values, it is a must-have reference book for the collector and dealer alike. Read more

  • Vintage Fishing Reels of Sweden
Very thorough info on the early ABU line. I learned a lot of things, goes into depth, only wish there was more on the baitcasting line of reels. A lot of the info is in reference to other styles of reels which naturally is good for people collecting different styles. I only had wished that it had covered the 2500 line of reels more in depth. The info on the Record line, early Garcia line of 5000's, etc. is very good. ... show more

Went deeper than I needed, was more interest in the Zebco Spinning Reel.

  • Good and comprehensible info on older Swedish reels, mostly ABU
Nice book for those even slightly interested in the older Swedish reels. Personally I would have liked it if the book had extended a bit more in to the modern reels, but I guess every good book leaves one wanting...
