MY NIEGHBOR JUST CAME OVER w/ a Hurd! CHEERS" from Idaho!

Great video! I own a Medalist, made in the USA. 1494 DA. It's a fantastic reel and I picked it up at a secondhand store for $15 in my opinion it was a steal.

Amazing video! Been trying to get into fly fishing but I hate the high tech look of all modern fly reels so I’ve been researching as much as I could about the medalist all night till I’ve stumbled upon your video which told me everything I need to know!

Brilliant video, 5* 👍

Great Video! What model South Bend Fiberglass rod did Lefty buy?

I learned something today !!! 😁👍😉 btw , Bought a 1969 Mitchell 300 today with pole for 20.00 . It cleaned up nice and added grease and oil , It purrs 🙂👍

When I was learning to fly fish in the early 90s I went to a one day lesson taught by Lefty in Wintergreen Va. It really made a difference, I will always remember that day.

I still use my whites 6000D that I got in 1980, it seems to work good in parks as I can eliminate the junk better than with my new digital machine which just works different than the analog machine. The garrett is much lighter and easier to use and goes deeper but the Whites just seems to be set up for coins.

1:44 is that a vintage Cicada lure? DORNS fishing has similar when I was a kid but don’t seem to make em anymore. My dad and I use to buy them about about 30 years ago. They looked different I bet this one beats those by a few decades!

French made stick bait , with lip on back/top.

Lake Havasu is the place for monster shellcrackers

Great demonstration👍

Rip Lefty

Very cool, I heard Lefty could do this but this is the first time I've seen it done.

Very helpful...thank you

Yea anise oil works , i used to raid my grandma's spice cabinet for this for making dough bait

Buck's Baits spoonplug? All yellow with 2 green eyes

Arkansas lawyer here. Very interesting video. Never took patent law classes, so never read it. A few years ago, the Arkansas Supreme Court had a barbless hook case. Lol. Nice grateful dead flag!

Respect the spawn , no eggs , no babies , no future

Could I please contact you about my very many lures?! I have an absurd amount of lures

Very nice

I have hundreds of lures that are probably a 100+ years old.

Did you open for Van Halen in 77?

KIMBRO!!!!!

I had around 20 of the Mitchell reels. Each had an extra spool in its case. Beautiful box and gear.

Lehighton would be close to Jim Thorpe Pa about 45 minutes north of Allentown on the NE extension of the pa turnpike, lehigh river , some of my old stompin grounds

Shawn try J&O CARRIBEAN SPICE RUB for part 2 of salting

Just found you today. Great content. Subscribing so I dont lose you. I work with a kids fishing program and people are donating old stuff daily. I love it all. So glad I found you.

... Thanks Shawn for taking the time to show us that time capsule. I have my late Dad's tackle boxes and lures. Also lures from my FIL still in the original boxes. Jeff .

Thank you !!!!

I live in Broward county Florida and fish the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee regularly using..............you guessed it.......A Pflueger Medalist 1494. I have fished with this reel now appx 50 years and it keeps on going as good as new............the 6 wt rod was made custom from a Cabela's blank. This is an unbeatable outfit for plying the Everglades region for anything that will hit a popping bug!

So very interesting to look back into the lives of fellow fishermen through there gear. Enjoyed the episode, thanks Shawn.

I love your commentary. Thank you! The Medalist has treated me well over the years.

I have a never used Fenwick Eagle Graphite Fly Rod with original never used fly fishing reel. From the 70's I believe. It was my dad's and I never had the heart to use it. It still has the original fly line that came with it. It's to beautiful to use in my opinion.

Hello Thanks for the tips! I was wondering how you can tell what KIND of Maker they are since the lures have no writing on them. How would you know that it's one of the more 'collectable' ones? Thanks!

Not an expert at anything but humility....this was a great story. I don't know how you do your research but this is a story that is very entertaining. Thanks.

If you're in town and have time for a beer, give me a call.

Those were not meant for healing. They were made for torture. 😂

Hello would lures old lures wooden lures from like Finland or an Asian country be valuable

Most of my free capital went towards fly fishing gear back then, and a 300 was out of range for me. I do remember wearing out the bronze bushings on the more affordable Diawa reels of the day. I also remember routinely having to dig out the line that would get under the spool and wrap the spindle on those reels.

If I were a rich man I would buy the equipment I needed and make them myself.

A Fishing Legend!!!

I enjoyed this video. Thank you.

Kent Island, is that where you’re located ? Sure is beautiful down there and smack in the middle of fishing paradise. Enjoy your vacation. Thanks.

A few thoughts: if you’re going to be lawyer, a patent lawyer is a good way to go. Unlike the rest of the legal profession, those folk get to go home at 5pm. I’ve always fished with a float, and, mostly, with a cork float, because I thought they were pretty, and easier to use with the peg holding the line. The fellows at Mad River told me about the Oros floats (they could not contain their excitement) which they, too, described as a game changer. (Mad River seems to come up with a lot of innovative tackle, and flies, and they seem to have Flip Pallot in their pocket). Thanks for the tip about mixing the Oros colors. Great idea!
