A Collector's Guide to the Life & Work of
Otto Zwarg
Master Reel Maker

"No reel left the Otto Zwarg Company without Otto putting the reel in free spool and then spinning the spool and holding it to his ear to listen for any noise. It had to be silent and perfect in every way, or else it was sent back for more work. That was Otto."
