Meisselbach & Meisselbach-Catucci Fishing Reels

by Phil White.

..."Perhaps the best book ever written on fishing reels"...

This 160 page book gives detailed information on the reels and the history of these famous companies. Ten years of research went into this book. It is divided into two sections for each company. Thoroughly covered are the history of the companies and their products. You’ll also learn that much of what you have read in books and magazine articles about the Meisselbach brothers and their families is incorrect. You will learn to identify all the fly reels, casting reels, salt water reels, and trolling reels of these companies. You’ll learn which ones are rare, and which are common. In the thorough appendix you’ll see all their patents and complete lists of all products, even the numbers produced.

From "The ORCA Bookshelf", The Reel News, Summer 1996. Review of MEISSELBACH & MEISSELBACH-CATUCCI FISHING REELS, written by Tom Harwood, past President of the Old Reel Collectors Association: "...this book exhibits a great mix of historical storytelling with a fact base that is complete and extensive... the amount and breadth of original research is staggering. what makes this book truly stand out is how this knowledge was compiled and organized. Anyone with a passing interest in fishing reels, the Meisselbach companies, or who would just appreciate an interesting and organized treatise should buy a copy, it has my highest recommendation."

From "Books and References", The National Fishing Lure Collectors Club Membership Directory 1997 - Review of MEISSELBACH & MEISSELBACH-CATUCCI FISHING REELS: "This 160 page book published in 1995 is crammed with a tremendous amount of information on Meisselbach and Meisselbach-Catucci reels ... many pictures and photos, magazine ads and background history on the Meisselbach brothers ... This is a well done book on some of the neater reels made."
