What is O.R.C.A.?

The Old Reel Collectors Association, Inc. is a rapidly growing group of over 800 fishing reel collectors from all over the US, and eight foreign countries. ORCA provides many benefits that far outweigh the annual membership. Included are:

The Reel News. A member's magazine devoted 100% to reel information. The Reel News is published five times a year. It contains articles about reels, manufacturers, developers, show and auction reports, letters, classified ads, several regular columnists, and more. You can read more about the Reel News here.

The ORCA Library. There are over 400 catalog copies available to members at cost. See the Library page for more information.

ORCA Membership Roster. A list of ORCA members, broken down alphabetically, by state or country residence, and by collecting interests. Printed annually in March.

Honorary Membership Program. This program honors persons deemed to have made a major contribution in the field of fishing reel collecting or history. To learn about ORCA Honorary Members click here
