Yep,,,, as much as I'd love to have my little 36hp 1960 VW back, I'd prefer to drive my (90% US made) Toyota in today's world.
Same thing with fishing gear. I love vintage stuff, but right now I'm simply trying to put a nice UL combo together to replace and upgrade my old one.
We have a Sportsman Whorehouse here so I was able to actually lay hands on most of the reels on my list and narrowed it down to the Sedona500 because it resets the bail easier than any of the others. My current Shimano SUCKS at that function so that's my #1 priority.
Now I need to come up with a good UL rod. My Fenwick wasn't really horrible before it got squashed but I figure I might as well upgrade that too while I'm at it.
Ingwe (or anyone else),, any opinion on St Croix Premier UL's or even Fenwick's HMX series?
