Mike is a wonderful ambassador for the Tuna club, the sport of fishing AND old reel collecting. A really nice guy that knows his stuff. Colby

Second that on Mike! He had that same display at the 2014 San Diego National Convention.

Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?

I am fortunate to live 5 minutes away from Michael and Susie so have been able to see his collection first hand and to have him relate details of Big Game fishing and openly share his knowledge. He is, indeed, a National Treasure, yet another honor bestowed upon him a few years ago.
