So I was on the phone with my dad last week talking about fishing and how I've really started to enjoy it (didn't like it much when I was a kid ... no patience).
He says, "I should send you your reel."
"My reel?!"
"Yeah, I bought you a rod and reel when you were young. I still have them. I'll send you the reel in the mail, then the next time you're up for a visit I can give you the rod."
"Ok." (tries to remember the reel)
About a week goes by ....
Package arrives. I open it.
WHOA! Check this out. Turns out to be a Vintage Penn Ultra Sport Spinning Reel #714Z.
Old School ... "Reel" Old School!
The box reads:
