Not a single fishing reel!

No star drags, no level winds, no spincast reels in this list of inventions that changed the world. Just these Beek waders.

I don't subscribe to SA but will check it out at the airport on Tuesday on my way to ORCA. The authors didn't ask us. Reels and fishing poles and hooks are right up there With a survival suit. Thanks for the link! They forgot German silver too.

Joking aside for a moment. The Hoe printing press shown on that SA site was an improvement of a press invented by David Napier, a Scottish engineer who is credited with inventing this wee device, which has become the basis of most reel level winds. So in a way, reels are on that list in spirit.
