Do you love big bluegill?
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.

I picked this reel at a pawn shop today. I've seen them for years but never had one. How old is this is this one, if anyone out there knows any info would be great.

WRONG AGAIN. TOP ONE IS THE BACK COUNTRY AND MIDDLE IS THE EMERALD GREEN..
Over the years it's been a hobby, and passion , of mine to collect some pretty nice stuff when it comes to vintage tackle.. Christmas came this morning in TROY GROVE...
A PAIR OF QUICK 110 REELS , VERY NICE CONDITION 100% MECHANICALLY WORKING
THE TOP ROD IS A 5' ONE PIECE "EMERALD GREEN" TRANSLUCENT SOMEWHAT , ULTRA LIGHT.
MIDDLE ROD A MODEL 1800 "BACK COUNTRY SPECIAL" 5'10" MADE IN THE 70'S , CLOSE TO MINT AND WOULD BE IF NOT FOR SOMEONE CLEANING IT AND RUBBING SOME OF THE NUMBERS OFF , STILL VERY NICE THOUGH
AND LASTLY A "HIPPIE" THERES WERE COLLAPSIBLE RODS THAT WENT DOWN TO 24" AND YA COULD CARRY EM IN YOUR BACK POCKET. THIS ONE NEAR MINT ALSO ..
Ya I"ve seen those Dick and looked rrrrrrrreally heavy duty for sure......
I had a Dam Quick once but I think the reel was enclosed I can't quit remember, one of them senior moments.
THIS REEL IS A VINTAGE DAM QUICK ,MADE IN GERMANY BOUT LATE 50'S MAYBE. IT'S A MODEL 110 AND THE 110 N models came in the late 60's I believe, and think I still have one more of these coming and will do a pic on em both together. For their size they were heavy compared to modern stuff , TOUGH AS NAILS HOWEVER AND THIS ONE FUNCTIONS PERFECTLY AFTER 50+ YEARS OF USE....
THE REEL IS A OLDER 308 MITCHELL ULTRA LIGHT, VVVVVVERY CLOSE TO MINT , AND THE ROD IS A 5' SHAKESPEARE WONDEROD WITH CERAMIC GUIDES . MODEL 1800 . SPOSE THIS ONE MADE IN LATE 70'S AND IS ACTUALLY THE NEWEST Wonderod in my collection. Very light weight ... will use it soon with a Vintage Dam Quick Reel model 110 . No not the new 110 N but the old vintage 110. Can't wait to see them when they start arriving.
Most folk never heard of Alcedo Micron's , made in Italy, or the Old Quick's made in Gernany. They were both considered the best in their years for mmmmmany years and were both built like tanks inside and out ......
Very nice Tooty
