Okay I'm in, next LR trip I get on I will have a vintage setup.

I'm all about the Vintage Reels, but choose modern rods.
My Senators may look Vintage, but I have some groceries under the hood.

theswimmer · January 30, 2016, 05:05:35 PM

That is supercool.
All my big rods and reels are at least 50 years old and most belonged to my Dad or Grandpas.
