I really dig the Shimano rod, I know it has a "golfers grip" but the model number is scratched out. Also a walking stick someone made out of old rods :thumb: Feel free to post your old-school gear.
^^^ I did some research on the Abu reels, look under the seat at the serial number. Turns out mine is a 1978
Third type: YYMMXX....year, month, revision. Late 1972 into the 1980s. (most common type)

P.S. Vintage Little Cleo spoons, are da bomb!
