Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I look forward to conversing with all of you.
Pflueger is pronounced "floo-ger" with a hard G, like Grrr, and the P is silent.

Alan, I will try to get an inventory and post some pics of whats left from over the years. Some of it has been dispersed throughout the family over the years, and a lot of it was lost years back in an unfortunate house fire at our family summer home in the western basin of lake erie.
I remember seeing some of the stuff we lost when i was young. There were reels that seemed like the sideplates and the reel handles were made of cut and polished granite or marble. White and green are colors im recalling. The thing i remember the most was how heavy they were, all the conventionals. Also, i know i have 1 or 2 of the old bamboo rods they made. Some of the stuff is so old, im afraid that if i touch it, it will break! Were talking late 1800's fishing gear here. lol. The lures are really cool too, but im not sure if they are 1800's.
