A superb example of the legendary Malloch Patent Side Cast Reel — a true icon of traditional British angling craftsmanship.
Designed for effortless casting and smooth line control, the Malloch side cast system was far ahead of its time and remains one of the most innovative reel designs ever produced.
Beautifully engineered with classic Scottish precision, this reel features the distinctive side-casting mechanism that allowed anglers to cast directly from the reel without stripping line by hand.
The result is an elegant, highly practical reel that combines function with unmistakable vintage charm.
Highly sought after by collectors and river anglers alike, Malloch patent reels are celebrated for their mechanical ingenuity, quality construction, and connection to the golden age of salmon fishing.
Whether displayed in a collection or paired with a traditional cane rod on the riverbank, this reel represents a remarkable piece of angling history.
A rare opportunity to own an authentic and increasingly desirable classic from one of Britain’s most respected tackle makers. 1880-1900
