Edward Vom Hofe 423 Salmon Reel 2/0

Edward Vom Hofe 423 Salmon Reel 2/0A nice Edward Vom Hofe Restigouche Salmon Reel, model 423, in 2 0 size. 3 3 8" diameter with a 1 3 8" spool width. Set up for RHW. Excellent original condition, with some light cosmetic wear but no major issues that I could find. The nickel silver rims have some tarnish in places (typical), the indicator dots on the backplate don't have their original red color, and one can make out a faint outline of a line sticker on the front plate under the crank,

This version is set up for direct drive but comes with a conversion kit to change it to anti-reverse

It has nickel silver ferrules

and in good overall condition given its age and use

A nice Tom Morgan Rodsmith bamboo fly rod

A very early and foundational text in the sport and the second known book on angling in the English language

rear sliding optional check button and milled spindle mounted tension adjuster

Overall the reel is in excellent ++ condition

The fit is excellent

so if you know of anyone looking to sell one of their Walker reels

this makes for quite the visual effect (see photos

A nice Billy Pate fly reel

This is one of the earlier handmade Adams models unlike the later models that were made via CNC
