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.

THANKS for all the new pics Dick and it appears you liked the old Hell benders some! Send me the old Shakespeare reel and I'll make it look just like new if you like.
