Four years in the making, my book detailing the history of legendary reelsmith, Arthur Kovalovsky and his family is now available. It chronicles Arthur's early years in Hollywood, CA, the family's tackle and gunsmithing business, early big game fishing history, and the beautiful reel designs of Arthur's two sons, Oscar and Lewis.
This exceptionally crafted book is packed with stunning photography and letters and documents from the Kovalovsky estate. It includes an in-depth examination of all the reels, including patent drawings, descriptions, and pictures of the internal mechanics of the different models.
