Tried to post some pictures of 3 I bought a while back, photo quality bad.. Found them in a garage sale(of which I never stop at) these are perfect circa 1977-1980 Abu, Diawa, Shimano.. Matching rods by same makers, how rare, I broke a drag star while cleaning the best one of course, the Shimano... I'll need RT's help on that.
I remember when graffite rods came out, they were the coolest. We're so spoiled today it's a crying shame.
I put spinnerbaits on all three for testing, first cast or two was awkward, but I soon had them flying like the days of old.. Can't wait till Friday, they have fresh line! I'll tie on some 1/4 and 1/3 oz traps on a couple hoping for 5 lb +...
fun fun fun.... Jimmy Houston style
