History: Charles Farlow is one of the earliest British fishing tackle manufacturers. He began his business in 1840. His first reels were all brass with ivory crank knobs and engraved in script with "C. Farlow, Maker, 221 Strand, London." In 1852 the company moved to a new address at 191 Strand, London. The company name was later changed to C. Farlow & Co. LTD in 1894. Farlow made a wide range of reels from the early brass reels to the more common fly, salmon, spinning and wooden reels. They also made a Big Game reel and Tournament casting reels.
