Hi guys, just a note to introduce myself. I'm a relatively new angler but a relatively old dude. I'm 62 this year and recently retired. Moved from the Seattle area to central Texas to be near my wife's parents. I used to fish with my dad - dropped my pole in the stream, set a hook in his thumb, and fished for brook trout while hiking in the mountains, but I got away from it for a long time - fast cars and fast women, you know. Now that I'm settled I've discovered fishing again, but the new equipment doesn't do much for me. I have a few of my dad's old rods and reels, so I cleaned them up. I bought a few vintage reels to work on and for some reason I got bit by the Heddon reel bug and that's how I found this place. So now I've got more 60's to 70's Heddon reels than I could ever use but they've provided me with hours of fun. So my plan is to fish with vintage stuff from that era, because it reminds me of my dad. Besides, the Heddon forum needs a jump start!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. For those that asked, I posted some quick photos of most of my Heddon reels in the Heddon forum. I'll be going back and posting better shots later on.
Gary good to have you here. You're gonna fit right in! Bill, SoCal Mountains
