I know that Crook made a few fly rods, but later, other companies provided them to him.
A friend of mine has a J.B. Crook marked reel and seems to think that perhaps it was manufactured
by Crook. If I had to guess, I would say no, but I'm only guessing.

Re: J. B. Crook reel question

Hello John,
Nope, I knew that Crook made a few fly rods, but wasn't sure about the reels.
At one point Montague was providing the rods, so I guessed that that might be the same
scenario.
I will have to tell my friend that he is right. I do that a lot these days.
