vintage reels

[QuinnTheEskimo]

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.

And all this just goes to prove the old adage "they don't make them like they used to"

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

Definitely something special about fishing with areel older than you are

In my case that is pretty hard to do, but I hear you. Neat the old reels are still getting the job done.
