While walking the Big Game Room at the Miami Boat Show I stumbled across an antique tackle dealer who had this cool old Vom Hofe fly reel made of vulcanized rubber called ebonite.

Isn’t that the stuff Jabba froze Han Solo in?
He got what he had coming to him.
Should be able to fetch a pretty penny for that, unless it’s for your own personal collection.
There are collectors that pay big bucks for antique fly fishing equipment. Just check out Ebay and you will see what I am tallking about.
Good Luck
I didn’t actually buy it. Way too expensive for my taste and I’m not much of a collector so I’d probably break it. I’d just like to see a modern reel maker go back to vulcanized rubber.
