This is my Hörgård Fluesnelle (Fly Reel). Simple and sturdy. Not much that can go wrong. In fact hard to improve upon.Image

Very cool, thanks for showing.
I don’t get to see many reels from Europe except from England.

Basic and functional.
Can you date it for us?
It's very typical of between-the-wars Brit reels from the Midlands.

No, I don´t know when it is made but I am investigating. Asbjörn Hörgård started making fishing gear in the thirties. During the war he was imprisoned by the nazis but then he resumed his business. I guess this is an early version of the companys trout reel but have no dating.
