Here are a few I dug up. Missing 2 more Abu's, A 5000 and 6000, both red..  I held the camera too close though.

Here is my favorite old one. Shimano Bantum Magnumlite with fightin' drag. It has caught snook, tarpon, redfish, trout and bass.  21 yrs old.

Hey dude.  I had the gray onr till i traded it.. What is that last reel ?  Do you have the Revo ?  

The last reel is an old Shakespeare reel.  I think it was made sometime in the 40's.  It is still in great shape!

I did have a revo for awhile.  I just didn't like the reel.  Don't really know why, it just didn't feel like a very good reel.  I mainly fish with Shimano and Daiwa, so I am probably just used to those...
