I'm still using a Zebco Cardinal 6 that was given to me unused by my Uncle. It was top drawer stuff in the late 60's and early 70's.

[@theretroangler5494]

Excellent.

[@Ericcartman666]

Abu Cardinal 54, 55, 57 + Hardy Altex, but I'm sure everyone has their old favourite iconic reels. Perhaps you should do a 100 reels 😃. Nice little video.

[@theretroangler5494]

Thank you, maybe next time I'll do a video of 100 reels!

[@thesovietonion4671]

These things look like they could last forever

[@theretroangler5494]

They probably will!

[@shawnbarry3893]

Nice reels 👍

[@theretroangler5494]

Thanks 👍

Those Mitchell 300's were like Rolls Royce's in comparison to the others. I must dig my one out and give it a cast!!!

[@theretroangler5494]

Yes give it a clean and it'll be good as new.

100% right great memories of fishing in the 70s with Mitchell’s I had the 300 the 410 and Mitchell match with the touch release bale arm also a closed face Abu never caught much but it didn’t seem to matter to us just had s great time especially the night fishing great days with me mates

[@mercifulhorror4935]

Great video I have a vintage spinning reel also

[@theretroangler5494]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Nice collection! But, no Penn?? I'm on Long Island and Penn reels were everywhere. I still use my 70's mini Penn on an Ugly Stick for fresh water. Love the vintage stuff! If it ain't broke.......

[@theretroangler5494]

I had a sea fishing Penn which I sold a few years ago and you can see here: www.theretroangler.com/reels I still have a Bakelite Penn on display in my shed on an old solid fibreglass rod next to my Jaws poster!

[@josephzummo9685]

@@theretroangler5494 I saw a the bait caster. We all had those growing up. Very reliable. Like I said I still use my Penn mini for light tackle. It's a mid 1970's. Thanks for replying keep the videos coming. Old guys like me are very interested.

[@wayned5872]

The price of older Penns ( early 70s ) are crazy for decent reels with box & papers

[@TonyGilbert1]

My diawa 7300 is still catching fish

[@theretroangler5494]

Excellent! They're good reels, very reliable.

[@wayned5872]

Have a Langley light use with original papers & box ?

[@theretroangler5494]

Sorry no I don't

[@josephwatts925]

Lots of rear drag reels- don't seem too vintage to me but I'm an older guy. Nice video though.

[@ptelectricreelservicesandr4260]

Nice

[@mercifulhorror4935]

What's the music called in this video?

[@theretroangler5494]

It's called Tomorrow by Bensound

[@jamesmatthews5222]

Wow. It's a video, of pictures. #okboomer
