Well I have the book.

What a wonderful work of research! Could not put it down ...once I started reading it. Page after page just kept showing the individuals that that made the Langley reel the super casting thing it was, and still is. What a story! What a Reel! In terms of good casting reels ...one of the terms that I LOVE is gun fighter reels. Landley Reels are at the Center of the OK Corral.

Well worth the wait:

Alan, Colby and Nello:

You folks have done a masterful job with the Langley book. Thank you all for the time and effort invested in producing this fine book. Everything is first class.

And by the way, the quality of the photos and the printing work are excellent.

BL,
We do not own the gold reel. I was referring to the red Model 830 that Aleshi used for making his distance record casts. Thanks. Colby

Congratulations on a great book. Very informative and presented the topic(s) very well. Great pics and illustrations.

A must for any serious bait-caster collector!
