ABU really killed it in the looks department. '75 2500C and an '81 Cardinal 3.

 

Man.  I've got to start taking pictures and downloading them to my laptop so I can post a few!  I really like the looks of my Limited Edition Tatula.

Zebco 33

Shimano Calcutta 100.  Classic, beautiful, still casts very well considering its age.

 

I have an old Pflueger Supreme free spool casting reel of my father's on display, neat, but not really fishable.   I just cannot get used to the crank handle/knobs short span.  He caught a lot of really nice walleye with it.

If you have a smartphone, get the Imgur app and get an account.  You can upload right to Imgur then link to your photos from the "other media" button when you go to post and not have to deal with the dial-up era 1.4MB file size limit on BR.

Looks like something Simon Shimomura would do if he got in on the Shimano game.  I dig it!
