I like the older stuff. I like stuff that can be repaired, stuff that can be called a classic. The heavy reels I have are from 35$ tourist combos that I picked up in Destin years ago. They sort of still work, kind of, as good as Barney's dinosaur excavator on the Flintsones. They're hard to love. So in light of becoming a champion Bass fisherman over-night It may do me well to get a decent reel. Something I can keep running a couple hundred thousand miles. And for Bass and Tiny Pike like Nappy and Melvin catch what weight rod. I was thinking 8' 10-12lb. for a sort of all purpose rod with a "B" sized reel like an old President or similar. I had been told to avoid Jap made stuff unless I buy their top quality which seems unaffordable.
Talk to to me.
ps: I have really been enjoying the old Johnson pushbuttons as boat rods.
