    Description

    From 1948 to early 1950's McVicker and Son built these wonderful salmon fly fishing reels.  This one is used, but well cared for.  The reels were engineered to a much higher level than most of the contemporary reels, using materials refined during WWII manufacturing.
    This reel looks equally great on your rod or displayed on your wall.  When not displayed it has done it's duty on one of my spey rods.
    Jim Brown wrote a nice article about them, you can see it in this thread:
