Big Kahuna, can you answer this fishing question?
Fly Fishermen and women need history too.
In America, a separate line of reel design was beginning to emerge. To begin with, the majority of American reels were home-made affairs having crude wooden spools with iron seats. In the early nineteenth century many Americans were still importing their reels, or making their own. Old timers often fished with discarded wool spools, bound into frames by the local tinsmith. But the native industry was gearing up, and single-action brass or German silver reels with curved handles soon became common. A watchmaker and silversmith from Paris, Kentucky, is believed to have made the first quality reels in the United States, sometime between 1805 and 1810. Realizing that there was a need for a reliable multiplying reel, he set down to invent one. His reel is known as what? and what is the name of this watch maker/silversmith?
snyder. l don't remember the first name.
