Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Mike the Bass Fishers thread got me thinking.... Do you have any old fishin' gear laying around? Much to the chagrin of my fiancee i have some real neat old stuff I keep on display. I have my great uncles creel basket, a 1960s reel, and an original mitchell 300. Here's my ol' shakespeare! Share some pics folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yep. I have lots of tackle from the early 1900s onward, including two old steel rods with wooden handles and two old johnson? reels that I found in my great grandmother's basement when she passed. She was 93, and the gear was her fathers, so needless to say its old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCTFisher9120 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 (edited) Wow, old reel indeed. I also picked up some older rods by a name that i dont even know. (on the sticker it says the following: Compac-C.G.Emery International Limited. Markham Ont. L3H 1A9) these 2 red rods have old steel or aluminum guides, those red rods are 2 piece and look to be 5' 10" in lenghy + i found two South Bend Icefishing rods...probably not going to use the rods or that lure i found but it's neat to own some older tackle. Great reel again tho, hopefully we can see some other old items in this thread. Edited April 19, 2009 by Mike The Bass Fisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 I have this reel. You need to reverse it to open the bail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've got a dozen or so old rods and reels that I've picked up over the years. This is the only one that has a box. One of my favorites. The only ID is on the bottom. Just says LAWRENCE and Made in USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I guess I took care of some of my stuff better than i thought, or, they were built a lot better then. I still have my very first glass rod and it is still in use. In the display box I have my first reel, a 300A, a heddon spincast, and an old level wind Behind the level wind is an old "Red Eye" (they still make em). There is also an old wooden plug or 2 My grandfather and uncle had matching Luxor reels from the 50's. My son now has one of them and both are still working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Governator Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) I know nothing about antiques... but father in law picked up this at a yard sale and now it's in my garage (Sorry for crappy quality, used phone). I couldn't tell ya anything about it, you guys would probably know more. Edited April 20, 2009 by Governator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
