And all this just goes to prove the old adage "they don't make them like they used to"
All the older guys I knew when I was a kid fished trout in rivers with those Johnson spincast reels and Mitchell 300’s were the standard spinning reel.

Those old reels had a lot of machined parts in them. Plus some hand fitting of those parts. Vastly different than what you get these days
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
