well then, it seems to me an antique abu garcia or pflueger would be the way to go... as far as features go, i do not need nor do i really care to have a lot of the newer features like centrifugal brakes, alarms, line counters and such.. im used to using my thumb as a brake so ive never needed anything mechanical
i heard that newer abu garcias arent as good as the older ones?.. in quality and performance, how does a modern 7000i stack up to an older 5000 or 6000 reel?
as far as making the rod, i have a pretty significant wood shop, and i know how to shape a rod with a few techniques using a hand planer, so that part wont be difficult for me
