i have a cira 1960's "ocean city " saltwater baitcast reel , it was an inheritance from the wifes grandpa . it's in perfect condition too .
the reel on todays market is worth a few hundred bucks , a perfect match for the b/f.t. rod all my buddys ( including you dave [
] ) got me as a gift .
some people will look at it and think "that set-up cost him some bucks " , yea , it's priceless , but it's not the monitary value that makes it that way , it's all the people that it reminds me of , and how much they thought of me to be given such a gift . ad how i can be a better person by treating others as i have been treated .
one thing i can tell you is when i feel a little beat down by the world , i just pick that rod up and look at it and i feel a little taller . ya just can't beat that feeling at all .
