Sneed - "OLD MASTER"
I started collecting with a focus on Automatic Fly Reels, mainly due to availabilty and reasonably low prices. While searching for those, some nice looking levelwinds and a few salt-water reels caught my eye. Then another and another and so on and so forth. My current collection is a mixture of Automatics, Tear-Drop Levelwinds, the Penn Senator series, a lot of odd-balls, a bunch of rods and a plethera of various tackle items.
Unlike others, I don't specialize in one Make or Model.
I like 'em ALL!

I am a member of ORCA, a world-wide reel collectors association based in the U.S. ORCA has members all over the world....England, Scotland, Denmark, Germany, Australia, Sweden, Norway and many other locations.
There is no better place to learn about, talk about, view, discuss or even dream about reels. The ORCA "Reel Talk Forum" is frequented by some of the MOST knowledgable "reel people" in the world. An excellant place to gain and share knowledge.
