Here is the comprehensive guide to forty years of collectible
Swedish-made reels. It contains background information on every
manufacturer and discusses every production model made between 1940
and 1980. It includes bait casters, spinning, and fly reels. With
over 675 color photographs, vintage advertisements, and patent
drawings, plus a guide to current values, it is a must have
reference book for the collector and dealer alike. Today
Swedish-made fishing reels are collected all over the globe and are
among the most prized. Names such as ABU, Arjon, River, Pebeco, W.D.,
Nordic, Rainbow, Radius, and Victory make nearly every reel
collector perk up his ears. There are several international
collector clubs dedicated to the Ambassadeur alone, and many models
bring top dollar at the auction block.
