Well I talked the local Cabelas manager into giving me all their trade ins from the March rod reel sale trade in days . There were about 70 rods and reels everything from the 202 zebco to Shimano spin reels. I had previously asked the GFP coordinator for their " becoming a outdoorsman program" like they teach kids and women or anybody who wants too, how to fish. If they needed any equipment and he replied they indeed took donations. So I told the manager at Cabelas I'd work them over( clean, lube, line etc ) and donate them to the GFP Outdoor campus. Got it done and put them to work. Will do the same next year too. It was something new for me I enjoyed it..mb

Buy new? *NEVER* All my stuff is from the 60's & 70's. 100% "old school" from my childhood years fishing with my dad. I think the most modern of all rod & reel combos I own is a Shakespeare Ugly Stick mated with a Garcia 230 spinning reel, both from the late 80's (my wife uses it). I make my own inline spinners, crankbaits, spoons, etc... all from those "kits" that you can buy from Jann's Netcraft --- www.jannsnetcraft.com![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/vqAB8t5.jpg)

Just added a Minn Kota bow mount Powerdrive V2 with iPilot to my little Gregor. Spot Lock is worth the price of admission.

I bought an old 1986 alumacraft bandit back in May. Seemed like gas prices jumped to about $5 a gallon and temps jumped up into the 90's the next week and I have yet to take it out.
