ANTIQUE FISHING REELS

Like all sportsmen, many anglers love competition and nothing says "I won" quite like a big trophy.  Over the years there have been thousands of competitions in both fishing and casting and trophies are always on the scene waiting to be handed out so they can be engraved with the winner's name.  Some trophies are awarded for the largest fish while others are awarded for the best hard luck story, regardless, they all eventually end up in a cardboard box in the garage and are sold in a garage sale or, as of late, on e-bay.  Below are some fine examples of trophies from the past.
