Still have some 5, 6, 7, and a 9-wt Fenwicks, and they get a little exercise each year. Not quite as snappy as the modern stuff, but if I'm out fishing I'd be happy with a stick, kite string, and bent straight pin (is that possible?). Being out there is what's important.
The tools though are still old friends and treasures to me, and will likely be landfill material when someone cleans out the estate.
Have a good one,
