New old stock — never used, original packaging. No longer in production.
A faithful reproduction of the legendary Edward Vom Hoffe single-action fly reel, handcrafted by Anglers Roost Enterprises. These reels capture everything that made Vom Hoffe the most celebrated name in American reel making — the iconic S-curve handle arm, raised-pillar construction, wood knob, and satisfying click-pawl mechanism that defined fly fishing tackle from the 1870s through the early 1900s.
Anglers Roost produced these in limited quantities before ceasing operations. Remaining new-in-package inventory is extremely scarce and becoming more collectible every year. If you've been looking for one, this is the opportunity.
