From ORCA’s Pflueger Pfacts columnist comes the most comprehensive and detailed study of a single model fishing reel to date. Robert Miller takes the collector and historian from the inception of the Supreme through the numerous incarnations to its final demise in the 1980s. Included are all known variations of the Pflueger Supreme, all patents affecting the reel discussed in depth, and all known prototypes, including a description of the incredible Case Patent Prototype that served as the basis of one of the most important lawsuits in fishing history.
