bigugli Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thank you for sharing those little blasts from the past. They sure bring back memories. I have an old glass rod from my childhood that I resurrect once a year and use for memories sake. I hope, this year, to take my Grampa's old Luxor off the shelf for a day of fishin. Just have to respool it with some good old dacron first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 NICE looking reel Paul....I have a similar one I purchased in the mid 70's....when I get my boat back I'll have to check on the model #....it's green, not red and it doesn't have a traditional star drag but you rather let go of the handle and then drag then works.....caught a lot of nice pike on it years ago in Nipissing....when I get my boat back I check in the garage attic where I store all my fishing "stuff".... I also had one of those old yellow Eagle Claw rods, but my was also a spinning model....that might also be up in the garage attic..... Sounds like a 5000D.

Roy Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yes 5000's are red, the C series was black and the D series was green. I bought 3 5000's (red) in the late 60's. They came with a nice leather pouch. I gave one to a Native guy on Kabinakagami who helped me out of a bad jam. My son Jeff has another one that he keeps mint. And I have one left. They're good solid reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
