I still use occasionally a Medalist Rim Control I bought new in aprox 1990. It still in 98% condition, I don't know why? I have a Scientific Anglers Mastery Series made by Hardy I got also in the 90's, still works fine but has been through it. I had to straighten the spool 2 years ago I bent from a bad fall, would hardly even turn. I sure wish I had any of a number of my old Garcia Conlon's rods, 3* and 5* from the 70's. Great flyrods! 5, 6, n 7wts.
