Heddon Spinning Reel help requested

Post by Gale »

I have started a collection of Heddon Spinning Reels just for fun. I've posted here before inquiring about whether or not there was a comprehensive source of information (model numbers, years made, etc.) I could consult to begin learning a little more about these reels.

If can offer me help, I'd be grateful.

Thanks in advance! You can email me at

Sincerely,

ORCA Spinning reel Guru, Ben Wright has a book available that should give you those details, along with similar information on almost all other spinning reels. I believe the information on the book is available on this site.

Gale, As Phil stated, Ben's book is a great resource for spinning reel information, and one I'd personally recommend. I've been able to date a few reels by the detailed information he's provided.
Here's the link on the ORCA site:

Good luck with your collection!
