Edward vom hofe
In the late 19th century, Edward vom Hofe (1839-1920), a New York watchmaker, machinist, fishing tackle builder and noted big game angler who outfitted the famous anglers of his generation, introduced his first two fly reels, starting his own business in 1867. Edward vom Hofe had become famous for his precision salt water big game bait and casting reels constructed of nickel silver and hard rubber (ebonite), along with a mysterious and recently discovered metal named aluminum.
