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 John Sheehan on March 27, 2012 at 6:23pm: look good Tooty keep the pics comin

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on March 27, 2012 at 6:03pm: TOP HALF of same rod John, all fiberglass ferrules and gold plated snakes. None of gold worn off of the snakes so it wasn't used much. A few minor scratches on the butt end of seat but that's about it.

Everyone is viewing history here and that's what the kids don't get about this stuff. Not the kids or younger generations fault , they just don't make stuff like this anymore. THEY ARE ANTIQUES LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on March 27, 2012 at 5:51pm: HEYJOHN HOW'S THIS ONE! IMHO THESE old Heddon Golden Mark 50s are the most beautiful rods ever made , period. This one is a 4 piece pack rod 8' rated for 7-8 weight line I believe. This one happens to be near mint. I don't think it was fished much and sits in the rod rack next to my recliner now along with two 7' Wonderod Panfish Specials.

Thanks for the heads up about how to add the pics!!! Hope you enjoy it and if you do I have LLLLLLLLLLots of other rods to take pics of.

I'd love to see what other folks are hiding in their basements John and I know I can't be the only fanatic out there about this stuff!
