NE Fishing Icon Frank Woolner's Rogue Reel

Post by Z3BigDaddy »

One of the fun things about collecting the Rogue Reels is the about half of them are personalized to the buyer. This makes it a bit more exciting since there were basically only 4 models and acquiring a complete set is pretty easy to do. So finding reels with provenance are great adds to the collection.......

I used to watch the Woolner Brothers on TV as a kid. I live in central Mass and my grandmother brought me to a sportsman show when I was maybe 10 years old in Worcester Mass and I met Frank Woolner ! They did a lot of Striper fishing on Cape Cod. There family owned a sporting good shop in Shrewsbury Mass about 15 miles from me. Below are some old pics. First is Frank and Jack Woolner.
