So, I was digging through some boxes of stuff that I had never unpacked when lovelywife and I moved into this house 11 years ago, and I found my circa 1985 Daiwa Millionaire II reel. I did a quick clean and lube on it and found it still works as good as it did back then. It is a bit battle scared, but mechanically it is perfect. I forgot how much I liked that reel. It is going back into my rotation from now on.

    My first baitcaster was a 6H in 1977.  

    By 1980, I could fish it from weightless to 2-oz spider weights in the surf.
