What about vintage reels? Is the idea of paying thousands of Pounds, Dollars or Euros for and old and dusty reel worthwhile? I sometimes think that Fly fishing is a sport taken up by the super-rich and these guys feel that if they are not spending £600 on a reel then it must be crap.

I do collect various things. I do understand that collectors are willing to pay high prices to satisfy their desires to own one of every model of a particular brand.

I have a romantic desire to catch a large brown trout on a cane rod.

I'll show some vintage stuff soon.
