how a mohlin reel is created

Every aspect of production was done in Bo’s own workshop in Sweden. Starting with the highest quality bar stock aluminium until the final anodizing after engraving. All his reels are tested during fishing trips again and again. Feedback from Mohlin customers all over the world was always taken in account for continues improvements. On this page you can scroll through the many stages (but not all, that would take you hours) it took to create a Mohlin of Sweden reel and the heavy duty leather reel case.

creating Leather Reel cases

Few people realise how much manual work it took to create a matching leather reel case for each Mohlin reel. From start to end it takes about 8 hours of skilful labour. Below some photographs of how a reel case was made.
