    Default Vintage Run


    Broke out one of the vintage combos this evening: Mitchell 309 with a Garcia Conolon 2121 ultralight rod. Found some gills before the thunderstorms moved it.

    I need to take my ol' 408 fishing soon, and also my Cardinal 3. They will not fit on a JDM rod (at least the ones I own) or most Fuji seats without trimming the reel foot a tad, so I have the Mitchell on a
    Eagle Claw rod (6' Powerlite a la Richard Gene), and the Cardinal on a St Croix trout special.

    Love the vintage glass rod bend .
    Pretty fish !
    Wish St Croix would make a replica ultralight glass rod .
    I’d go for one made out of the newer S glass .

    Very nice, FFW. That old combo is still getting the job done! As a lefty I love to see the odd numbered GMs in action.

    It's not the numbers or the size, it's the time spent on the water!
