Product Description
Production Furling Machine
Our production furling machines are custom made for each user. They can have 2 or 3 planetary hooks with an optional central hook to "power furl" (this hook rotates in the opposite direction). The engine has two precision bearings on each hook shaft and the central power shaft. They attach to your furling board or a base with two 8-32 machine screws (included). The motor shaft is 1/4" diameter but can be reduced to fit your hand-piece or motor chuck. These machines are being used by several commercial furled leader manufacturers for high volume leader production. A 3 hook, central hook on a cherry base model is shown in the photographs. Each machine is stamped with The Eclectic Angler logo, Michael Hackney's maker mark, and a serial number.
Pricing Information
Price is based on the number of planetary hooks and whether or not you need a center hook and/or base. We do custom fit the base to your specifications and that may require a price adjustment if you have a power unit that is unusual!
Please enquire with your specifications and for production time and cost. A 50% deposit is required upon ordering.

Old world craftsmanship - New world precision
Posted by Michael Moline on 24th Nov 2010
In April 2010 Michael and I exchanged a series of emails and phone calls for an idea I had about a custom made 3 leg furler or “Walton’s Engine" with a hook on the drive shaft for the reverse furl. Michael came up with a design that more than exceeded my needs and expectations. It enables me to maintain a consistency and quality that my customers demand with very little effort. I have used it as a stationary engine with a weight on the tippet end and also as a free hand furler with the tippet end attached to a swivel on the common post. Michael did not cut any corners. The furler is a work of beauty, function and design.
In the past 7 months I have made over 2000 leaders using his furler with no signs of wear and it is still performing like new. I expect that I will get many many years of service from it.
I have contracted Michael to design a 4 leg furler also with a hook on the drive shaft. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with!!
