Curiosity Already in ancient Egypt the fishing line was held neatly on a piece of wood or bone with pins at the ends. In a painting by the Chinese artist Ma Yuan, of the Sung dynasty (960-1280), a fisherman uses a rod equipped with a reel, which therefore seems to have been in use in China since 300 AD. Regarding the introduction of the reel to the West, in some English treatises of the 17th century the reel was spoken of as a known instrument, but its inventor is not known. The reels of that period were made of hard wood, first of walnut or oak, then of mahogany and rosewood, but the wood wore out easily and therefore iron and brass parts began to be introduced.
