Hello everyone!

My name is Mike, I have been a long time viewer of this forum and decided to finally join.  I enjoy fishing from the surf in NJ and also back bay, inshore.  I got bit by a collectors bug especially penn 5 years back and since then scour the internet for that rare item but mostly hit up the flea markets (or swap meets depending where I am at).  Unfortunately I don't have the fundage for the super rare expensive items so I usually look for the lower end items and clean them up.  Thanks for having me!

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

There are lots of serious collectors here. But many, like myself just like an old reel when we stumble upon one. Thats what is soo awesome about this site. Just keep doing what you do, and have fun. There are lots of experts here willing to help along the way. ENJOY!
