Bob Geiger Creel

Bob Geiger CreelFor sale here is an early center hole creel lovingly re leathered by the late, great Bob Geiger of Seattle. These lovely creels are all hand stitched throughout and many, many hours of labor went into their restoration. Bob was one of the largest creel collectors in the country and quite a craftsman and his creels are some of the best out there in my opinion. There are three creels available see the other listings.

This is a mint unfished browntone with a nice medium action

The hinges are brass with the three screw configuration

Excellent condition with working back and old split shot still present

recalls the medium action of the classic Bamboo Rod despite its touch of modernity guaranteed by its progressive taper action that results in an unexpectedly delicate power and smoothness

reel seat with a cork spacer and oxidized cap & ring

A very worthy restoration candidate

The reel's line capacity is a DT6 plus 40 yards of backing

and is an excellent opportunity to own a model that every bamboo aficionado needs in his collection

three logos including rod-in-hand

Extended foot with a yellow floating line on spool

High arch guides show minimal wear

Mechanically the reel remains in excellent condition
