A like new Ambassador 5000 that I bought from my buddy's dad for 20 bucks of grass cutting money (That was 4 yards with a murray self propelled mower back in the 70's). Spent hours in the front yard with a bucket trying to get decent at it.

Just re-lined it. Shimano Bantam Mag Plus. Lefty. It’s on a Zebco Sportfisher 5’6” pistol grip rod. Both from @ 1985. Great white bass and walleye crank setup.
first low profile reel was a Diawa Procaster and a Kunnan 6 foot med action rod
first reels-l640.jpgDiawa millionaire, and I believe an ambassador 4000 (old thin metal red reel with tiny pearl handles).

Started out with an Ambassadeur 4000 and a Heddon rod. Then when I was working in high school I saved the 32.00 for a 5000 and then another 20.00 for a red, white, and blue Lew's bicentennial rod. Wish I had that rod now.

Quantum EX 250 with flip up hood to get the line threaded. Lost the spool tension knob before I knew the importance it. It’s amazing I didn’t quit fishing with all the backlashes I had.
