Pflueger Buckeye Bait Casting Reel
This Pflueger Buckeye Bait Casting Reel is more than 100 year old, dating to the mid teens, 1916 I believe. This antique fishing reel is a great example, and is made of a polished nickle or “Silveroid” with smooth jeweled end caps. This vintage reel was made by the Pflueger Bait Company of Akron, Ohio.The free spinning handle adorn with the traditional Ivory Pyralin Iveroid handle. The model is said to be a made in the traditional Kentucky Style. The antique reel is stamped 60 Yard on its foot and has the desirable Jeweled End Caps option, as there were other models to choose from inside this line. The reel spins freely and is in nice condition.

Brief History on Pflueger Antique lure and the Enterprise Manufacturing Company
Born of German lineage, old fishing lure maker Earnest F. Pflueger should and is considered one of the pioneers of the fishing lure industry. With an array of fishing tackle, and antique lures ranging from the use of crystal, hard rubber, solid metals, Pflueger, and The Enterprise Manufacturing Co. from Akron Ohio would create design and influence the fishing lure and moreover the Fishing Reel industry and our hobby for many generations. I cant think of another old fishing lure and reel maker with the depth and breadth of a fishing lure and fishing reel line up that lasted as long as Pflueger.
