I just read Marke's message in response to Jason's question about favorite baitcast reels. Marke replied his favorite was an "old Quantum MG310 (goin on almost 12 yrs and about 1000 fish)."
I just went to my tackle box and pulled out my first reel - a Garcia Mitchell 300! I got it when I was about 10 or 12 so it's about 40 years old now! Caught my first big catfish on it about 30 years ago - a channel cat from a lake that my father lived on that weighed about 15 pounds! Remember Stren Gold Florescent? That was the line I was using at the time! Not exactly flourocarbon! The reel still works like a champ! I keep it as a spare and 'cuz I could NEVER bear to part with the memories!
So how 'bout the rest of you? What's hiding with the dried-out pork frogs in the bottom of YOUR tackle boxes!!??!!
