GODFREY REEL MODELS
Godfrey Trout, Salmon and Steelhead Reels are the culmination
of 25 years of work marrying modern materials, finishes, and drag mechanisms
to produce a new kind of Classic Reel Design. While maintaining classical
esthetic features, Godfrey Reels have been engineered to higher modern standards
for durability, ease of maintenance, and modern rod balance and functions.
Esthetically, Godfrey reels posses a more narrow profile,
strict attention to detail with nickel silver screws, fittings, and frame
side bands; and they possess that certain comfortable "feel" in the hand that
we all enjoy. Technically, the reels have strong reel frames, large spool
capacity, self lubricating bearings, adjustable and exceptionally smooth drag
systems, and simple - single screw take down. With scratch-proof hard
coat aluminum sides and nickel silver frame pieces, the Godfrey reels are
a superb value in classic design reminiscent of the Vom Hofe reels of old.

THE GODFREY CLASSIC REELS
The first classic style reels worked out over a five year period in the mid
1990's. Originally loosely based on nineteenth century Vom Hofe
reel designs, the frame and internal mechanism are made of modern
materials, but maintain the flavor, feel and function of the vintage
reels. A newer raised pillar frame type reel is now available -
the Perfectionist - which promises to set a new standard of performance
as well as "eye appeal".
