Vintage Equipment Group

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.

John kind of funny how we can look back in our old stuff, stuff we forgot we even had and how much we accumulated through the years. I'm headed to the barn now to see what other older tid bits I can find.

Comment by dick tabbert on August 2, 2012 at 10:25am

No john but I do have a couple waterdogs. I Use to use them for trolling pike, they are in a tackle box in the barn and I guess I should retire them also.
