I sold this reel
it was for a good cause - I used the money for several things, one of which was a Pflueger Golden West on ebay at a third of its value.
I fished the reel. I sold it with the intention of lining this one - it's the same size and holds a DT6
The reel is about 68 years old, give or take a year.
And today, it caught its first fish.
at a beautiful place on a beautiful morning
and again (and again, etc)
my buddies were there
they liked the place, too
see?
waiting 68 years to go fishing?
I think it's a monumental day
The first fish was on the first cast of the morning, the first time the reel had ever been fished, and the first time its pawl had ever roared in anger.
call me crazy
