Bantam 100. Still using 2 today. In the late 70's was using round reels. When this reel came along it was unbelievable. Now i have Tats, Dcs and SVs but i still use the Bantams.

I love the grips and I'm old and always loved cork.

Concentration over the day can affect your reaction. I start out pretty good but when the pain from several sources start it affects it.

Had to retire a little early due to cancer. Now that as my doctor tells me; we kicked its tail, I am able to do more every day. I play golf or fish Monday thru Friday. If I fish with the boy on Saturday or Sunday we either fish the creeks or river. If he wants to fish on the busy lakes we usually fish at night. I sometimes wonder how I had time to work. Last month I bought a place on a lake with a dock 40 feet from my back deck. It will now be easier not launching the boat every day going fishing. I should be able to fish and golf the same day. I was blessed to be able to do this before my original planned retirement. After what I went thru I am just glad to be enjoying life again.
