Vintage Equipment Group

Information

I know this sounds strange, but vintage equipment like fiberglass rods still have a place! We can talk shop and discuss why some vintage gear is just as good (if not better) than the new stuff.

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on August 7, 2012 at 4:01pm: Thanks Dick and they are all about the same age . You can use 5 weight on all three rods and the bigger one on the bottom will take a 6 no problem at all. The top two are 7' and the bottom is a 8'6" . If you click on the individual pics you can see the rod inscription details. I wished I had my first one too Dick but like an idiot I sold it about 25 years ago and haven't seen it or the fella who bought it again.
