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. Today Swedish-made fishing reels are collected all over the globe and are among the most prized.

Good and comprehensible info on older Swedish reels, mostly ABU,
By Mats Kellberg (Taby, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vintage Fishing Reels of Sweden (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
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...

Vintage Fishing Reels of Sweden,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vintage Fishing Reels of Sweden (Schiffer Book for Collectors) (Hardcover)
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.
