Saracione Trout Reel

With designs that pay homage to the classics from the Vom Hofe family, reel maker Joe Saracione has been producing fly reels for several decades, beginning with the Monarch series of reels. Later models, such as the SCA (Saracione Classic American), were made for R. L. Winston and Thomas & Thomas. A skilled craftsman, he also offered his versions of the famed Edward Vom Hofe Perfection and Tobique reels, as well as a version of the Fin-Nor Wedding cake reel.
