RJS, thanks for your response. Going to give the reel a good cleaning and put it to work. I do have an old ambassador 5000 reel I bought when I was 15 and still use it. Makes that one 53 yrs old now.
( As far as the Evenrude goes, not all the knives in the drawer are that sharp, takes all kinds.)
Thanks Spirit, Your right it does need a major cleaning came out of an old shed. Don’t have any idea how old it is.
Had this reel given to me. Anyone know anything about how good a reel it is.
Oz, That was a lot of fun, Surprising I was able to get them all. Brought back a lot of ole memories. Thanks
It is a small world, don’t know how many small world experiences I have had in my lifetime but it’s been a bunch. I was in Fort Polk La in 1969 in boot camp, got to have a free day one week sat down on a picnic table at the px looked at guys name tag next to me and asked him a couple questions and come to find out we were cousin’s first and only time we ever met.
I lived in Pontiac Illinois untill 1978, Then lived in Tulsa Ok untill 2018, Now down in Florida. Spent a lot of time in Champaign was a fireman back then taught a lot of rescue classes at the university back it the day!!!
Welcome Catfishman1, as I can see from the picture you live up to your name. Nice fish....
Welcome TripleP51, what part of central Illinois are you from? Grew up in that area myself. Great bunch of people on this forum.
That’s funny right there BB, if that’s a true story that’s makes it even funnier
