Australian Collectable Vintage Fishing Reels. EBRO fishing reel model identification information, by Bernie Ladd, 2/2/2014.

EBRO Fishing Reels. This segment features eight different EBRO side cast models and various Nottingham reels produced by Rogers Bros, a general engineering company. The Melbourne-based factory where the EBRO reels were made was founded by Edward Bullock Rogers in 1930. EBRO fishing reels were mainly produced for the Australian market, but also exported overseas. Production of EBRO reels ceased around 1960, due to the flooding of the local market with reels from the USA and Japan. Roger Bros, could not compete economically with these mass-produced cheaper imports. The Rogers Bros, Manufacturing Works Pty. Ltd. continued its general engineering works until finally it closed down in the early 1990s. >< )))) * >
