Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 11, 2007 Super User Posted July 11, 2007 Here are a few I dug up. Missing 2 more Abu's, A 5000 and 6000, both red.. I held the camera too close though. Here is my favorite old one. Shimano Bantum Magnumlite with fightin' drag. It has caught snook, tarpon, redfish, trout and bass. 21 yrs old. Ambassadeur 6000c , has caught hundreds of snook. About 25 yrs old. Diawa rated for 6-8 lb test. About 30 yrs. old. 1964 Shakespeare model GE. I never used it. A neighbor gave it to me years ago. That's all. I showed you mine so now let's see yours.

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 13, 2007 Author Super User Posted July 13, 2007 Hey dude. I had the gray onr till i traded it.. What is that last reel ? Do you have the Revo ? Quote
The Dude Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 The last reel is an old Shakespeare reel. I think it was made sometime in the 40's. It is still in great shape! I did have a revo for awhile. I just didn't like the reel. Don't really know why, it just didn't feel like a very good reel. I mainly fish with Shimano and Daiwa, so I am probably just used to those... Quote
