The Antique Angler

Post by mark bumgarner »

Found a reel I am interested in on a web page theantiqueangler.com but the page does not list any information as to where they are located, who owns the shop, or anything else to that matter. Was wondering if any of you were familiar with or had any transactions with them.

The Antique Angler website is owned by longtime collector and former ORCA President, David Lehman. David is someone I would personally recommend as a trusted tackle seller. He advertises on this website and supports ORCA. David was at the FATC show at St. Augustine this weekend and I was happy to get to spend some time with him.

Thanks Mike and Bruce. I thought it might be David and am glad it is. Guess I should have checked member web sites, DUH. I was at Frankfort last Fall but only for first 2 days but David was one of the members I met so YES think we are good to go.
Thanks again

Just received two reels I purchased from "The Antique Angler" and could not be more pleased. Thanks David!
