Spinoff of another thread. Play nice!

Started about '97. Had a neighbor that was way into it. Started with a base model Cortland set-up.

My tastes run toward retro gear.

First up is a '50s vintage Allcocks Aristocrat #A330 9' bamboo rod. Bought it from another forum member. Interesting history and in perfect condition. The real is a Pflueger Sal-Trout.



My Small river rod is an early '60s, fiberglass, 6 1/2', Wright & McGill Feather Light. The reel is a Martin #63.



Getting a new cork and seat.


A few reels pre and post cleaning. Most are from the '60s.
