I.D. for fly reel spool?

Post by Ray Hencken »

Pictured is a nice quality fly reel spool for a disc drag reel. Can anyone identify the make reel?

Pflueger Medalist or Supreme spool?

Will check my most recent Shakespeare catalog and get back. Not of the U.S. made Pfleger era if indeed Pflueger.

Not a Pflueger but rather a spool for a Precision Fly reel (previously unknown to me). Here is the web site. I.D. from a couple of members of the Classic Fly Rod Forum.

Ray has it. Checked the 2002 Shakespeare Cat. A Pflueger fly reel shown has a close (but not close enough) "P"in script in the name "Pflueger". Correct-Not Pflueger!

Didn't have access to that reel pic. The catalog I have shows a significantly different style letter. Shakespeare obviously changed styles from time to time if that is a Pflueger item (made in China).

My limited knowledge of Pflueger reels ends with 1982 models so I am lost!
