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 DUANE SCHULTZ on January 27, 2012 at 1:20pm: Hi guys, I just got this lure on Ebay. I think it is a Bud Stewart. Do any of you know for sure?

Comment by DUANE SCHULTZ on January 27, 2012 at 1:10pm: Hi David, I have never heard of those Wonderrods. Can you tell me a bit about them?

Comment by DAVID L EITUTIS on January 26, 2012 at 6:04pm: I would have thought there would be lots of discussions extolling the merits of the vintage tackle! Oh well any one wants to talk a bit about vintage Shakespeare Wonderods I"m the dude! SPinning or fly I have em both and use em both. Well I actually have many and use em all at one time or another.

THANKS

Comment by Howard Webster on May 2, 2010 at 5:51pm: it is a pflueger 1494 it is made in the USA so it was worth the 2.00 I paid for it I have picked up some great deal in yard sales

Comment by Rob Gay on May 2, 2010 at 3:46am: Howard...what are the markings on your reel...looks like a pflueger...If so, there should be some markings on the ivory cover plate...a lot can be done to those reels which a lot of people use..a old standard in fly reels...good find!!
