Vintage Fishing

[Steve - K4HX]

Those Greenies are classics! Very nice.

I would argue that Airex was the predominant spinning reel manufacturer starting in the later 40s through the early and probably mid-50s. Not sure when they faded out but their 1955 catalog has about 8 different reels and probably 20 rods, plus line, tackle and other equipment. They were either started by or closely associated with Bache Brown, who is considered the father in spinning fishing in America. Interesting history.
