I'm more impressed with the preservation of the line than the rod or reel. It had two-thirds of the original wet breaking strength.

Cool! There was a Pflueger Templar on the boat too. I guess they put the photo in upside down for preferred composition

Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?
