Grandpa's Basement

[foakes]

My youngest son, the fisherman, says he's inheriting all my fishing gear.  I told him I really can take it with me when I go... I'm getting a really big casket.  He said, "Dad, you can't do that to me!", well, we'll see!

Reminds me of the time I mentioned to my wife that I wanted to be cremated when the time came --

Without missing a beat, and with a straight face, she asked me...

"Would you like that professionally done -- or can I use the BBQ pit?".

True story...

Best,

Fred

Can't remember a time when Macy's sold fishing gear, but that is very cool!

There surely is, I just need to get back there to get it.  I'm also really enjoying using some of his old tools.  Just finished this little project for my daughters 2nd birthday tomorrow...wouldn't have been possible without his tools Again crappy cell phone pics

Ok, I was able to get over there on Saturday not much left, but I set this stuff aside to hold onto.













And I started dismantling the Penn Delmar last night....fun doing this again.

Great stuff! The 710 greenie reminded me of my first serious spin reel which was a 711 greenie. just a 710 with the handle on the other side.
I caught my first tuna from the rocks with it....about 15kg.
cheers

That's awesome, I really like this little reel.  I think I'm going to start fishing it rather than just leave it on the shelf.  It feels way more solid than my Quantum Boca and Okuma Cedros spinners...now to look into new drags and a little grease for it
