Bob Geiger Creel 7'1" one lighter for smaller fliesFor sale here is an early center hole creel lovingly re leathered by the late, great Bob Geiger of Seattle. These lovely creels are all hand stitched throughout and many, many hours of labor went into their restoration. Bob was one of the largest creel collectors in the country and quite a craftsman and his creels are some of the best out there in my opinion. There are three creels available see the other listings.
