That is where Everol got its start.
Those Garcia's fetch a pretty good price.
From back in 58 to today, Everol makes a fine reel.
I prefer the New Model.

John, you certainly have some special reels in these photos but I'm most curious about that gladiator in front. I've never seen a brown color, only the gold. Is that a limited edition or presentation reel of some kind?
I'd like to be the second person (mike has first dibs) to enter your museum when it's ready.
Seriously impressive!

Dom that Gladiator was on eBay over in England for a long time but price was to high. The guy finally accepted an offer. I thought it was real neat and had never seen one. I like the little red Garcia Admiral 4/0 even more. Those are pretty rare reels !!   John Taylor


Two sexy Italian chicks !!!!!

John,
   Sexy indeed! I've seen  couple of the red Admirals but not in the condition that yours is in.  I'm a collector of only Penn reels, but that gladiator is one pretty reel. 
Do you have the 20/0 Coxe cradle reel?  Is that the one in the photos?
Beautiful collection!

John,  We could wipe out all the fish on this side of the Rockys if we ever got together with your collection combined with my big dreams.
    Butt you never know.  Keep collecting and use one once in a while as your still young.   Best of luck.

My Jigmasters.
I probably haven't got all of 'em...yet, but I will someday, right? Naw, way too popular a reel for guys to stop creating new variations. And these are just the commercially available kits and stock reels. Guys from this site have done some great individual creations.


I can bore you with alota words, or show you mostly alota pictures. Pictures are less boring, but there's gotta SOME explanatory text.
"All together now".
