C. Farlow & Co lures & baits were produced by one of the earliest UK fishing tackle manufacturers. Charles began it in 1840. His first reels were all brass with ivory crank knobs. Later, the reels were engraved in script with “C. Farlow, Maker, 221 Strand, London.” They were marked this way until 1851. 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. The early Farlow salmon reels have a fish logo stamped on the bottom of the foot. Later, the logo was changed to an image of a salmon hanging by a carrying strap.
