Kineya Reel & Tackle Maker


Kineya Reel & Tackle Maker - Kyoto, Japan

The history of Kineya reel & tackle maker can be found in their October, 2003 edition of "Kineya Tackle Maker, Collector's Guide." In there it describes how Masatoshi Okui (called Mas by his friends) started making fly reels of his own design. In the year 2000, Mas started the manufacture of his reels on state of the art CNC machines and under his direct supervision. His catalog shows he made 6 different models with up to 8 variations in size and material on some of the models. All of Mas's designs reflect his thought that "the life of a salmon or trout is an art which was borne from mother nature and our tackle designs are in harmony and in tribute to this wonderful pastime."

Kineya also created a line of fly reels that followed the H.L. Leonard and Leonard - Mills designs. They are the German silver and bronze bi-metal and the William Mills & Son model No. 44 and No. 50 reels. Kineya made these two reel models for rod maker Ron Kusse. The reels are marked "The Leonard Mills Reel" and "Ron Kusse, Maker." Kineya also made his raised pillar reels with the names "Alchemy" and "The Hidden Creek" markings on them.
