The name's on the tip of my tongue, but that ridiculous goatee stymies me.

Is it Dame Juliana doing her Dr. Phil impersonation?

Steve, That's not a ridiculous goatee, it is a questionable soul patch!

In some future time warp, the DNA of Bruce Willis and Joeseph Kennedy are fused to create "reel man".

Okay...that pic looks like '50s from here...last name henze? I assume first name is not Brenda. The other guess would be Newell.

google brings us to past orca convention...here's a pic of his F1

those eyes look like they cam from the same corner of the gene pool

OK not Henze or Newell.

Much older. The pic is from 1926, if that helps.

Hint #3: I developed one of the most popular saltwater reels of the 1900-1930 period for a major tackle maker.

Hurray! Brian has won the coveted "No Prize." This is a photo from 1926 of Pflueger's Walter Adams, who developed the Atlapac among others. I've been able to get pictures of the entire Pflueger design staff from the 1920s, including Case, Adams, Sobey, etc.

It is very cool to be able to put a face to a design.

Cheers,

-- Dr. Todd

Very cool, Dr. Todd! It is great to see what the man looks like and hopefully, we get to learn about his background too in the future. Just incredible that you've found these photos and I cannot wait for a book that puts it all together! I forgot about Case but Adams was a stab in the dark. I'm on a roll, I should go fishing
