2 16/0 Kovalovsky Zane Grey Rim Controll reels and one small2/0 Kovalovsky

Post by Jay White »

Two 16/0 Zane Grey rim control reels, one in Macarta and one in aluminum. A small, rarely seen 2/0 for comparison. Note the "handles are different, the oil ports are located in different locations, one in front of the rim control and one in the rear. The Macarta is customized with the initials AES. Does anyone have a clue? Every "Kovo" reels was custom made, so all are a little different. Enjoy!

Wow the 2/0 looks like a dry fly reel in comparison to the other two.

Thanks for the chuckle, Matt. Home sick from work, I needed that. (Before people start requesting info about my collection from my wife, I'm not that sick, just a little GI bug).
