Other Fishing Reels and their
Boxes
(Click on small images for an enlarged view)
This page consists
of old fishing reels and their boxes from various manufacturers.
Four of the top five major tackle manufactures of Heddon, South Bend,
Pflueger, and Shakespeare all manufactured their own fishing reels through
the years, along with a multitude of other fishing tackle and lures.
The only exception is Creek Chub that offered an Indiana style reel called
the Wawasee for a few short years, and in actuality it was manufactured
by the O.K. Machine Company out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. For a period
of time, Shakespeare manufactured reels for the South Bend Bait Company.
Some of these examples are pictured here. There have been many
more reel manufacturers through the years, and this is only a very small
sampling of what is out there.
