This consolidated list of Canadian Reel Makers includes makers and companies that made reels in Canada but also companies that distributed trade reels in Canada under their name (e.g. AL&W). The information was gathered from various online sites listed below, collector books and my own primary research. On my page of Canadian Marked Reels you will find pictures of some of the reels made by makers on this list. Pictures of additional Canadian reels can be seen at the links shown below.
