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.

    What are you wondering?
    I have a bunch of these - pretty much all the same in function.

      I too have several. In fact my first baitcaster was a Shakespeare President my cousin gave me with salt and pepper catgut line. Direct drive and a solid fiberglass rod. I had gone to the big boys club. Caught lots of river bass on that old reel using a creek chub broke back darter. Crud but effective.
