I have been trying to complete my collection of Hendryx reels with the 8 patents listed on the back of the reel. The reels were made from a variety of materials and came in different designs. There are fly reels and casting reels. Any help fillinf in some missing reels would be appreciated. I had a pretty nice display of them at last year's ORCA national and have added several more since then. Here are a few pictures of the type of reels I am looking for:
Thanks,
Ed

Thanks Don! I would appreciate any help in adding to these or any other Hendryx reels I may not have. At the same time, I am always willing to help anyone who may have questions about Hendryx reels that I may be able to answer. You can always email me direct at
Here is a little bit of information on these reels, for those who may be interested. The casting reels shown are three of the four cosmetic outward design changes tat Hendryx made to these reels. The reels are all pretty much the same except for the outward appearance changes.
I have an extra 80 yard Hendryx fly reel with the 8 patents on back that I would consider for a trade of one I do not have. Here are the pics of the trader.
Shoot me an email at if you have a trader and are interested.
