This pair of L & S Minnows just came in the mail this morning and are my favorites of all the Mirro Lure colors , YELLOW FLASH ... BOTH ARE MINT IN BOXES AND ONE BOX IS SLIGHTLY SHELF WORN AND THE OTHER IS NEAR MINT I'D SAY . IN ANY CASE I really like em alot and have several in this color combo.....These are pre 60's because of the boxes and hardware....

Thanks Dick, i'm pretty fired up about both of these rods and can't wait to fish them. God knows I really don't need any more rods but what the heck it will be fun to take them out for some fun afternoons!

Hey Fellas, Santa made a bee line to NW Ohio knowing that this old boy was one nice guy in 2013! A Fenwick 4 piece 71/2 foot fiberglass and a 81/2 foot Fiberglass Shakesphere Wonderod! Both are in great shape and can't wait for the water to warm up this spring...I think both will work with a 5wt line pretty nice . I'll post a picture or two when I get a chance for you to let me know if I should be as proud about them as I am at the moment.
Hope you all had a great Christmas as well

Bill

Your right Jim. I had one in the 70's. It was called the Dam Quick nice reel.

ha tooty i only heard of those microns,another highly collectable reel are the DAMs i think they are called from germay.saw some at a show and they were pricey to say the least.love the sound those old reels make.

I remember those reels well Jim !!!!!! I also like the round 304 Mitchell's also. Back in the day about the only reels any better than those were the Alcedo Micron's outta Italy . Very expensive now !

Yup Dick lots of us got our starts on those rods. Ya know mentioning Heddon Rods I personally think they made the most beautiful rods back in the day. I'm fortunate enough to have three of those in my collection , they are Heddon Golden Mark 50's and are a translucent amber color and just plain great.....

Tooty back then that's what we started with the Wonder Rod or the Heddons ay least that's what I remember the most.
