Hotrod,
Sorry to take so long in getting back to you.
I've been working very long days on a big project at work, and combined with age...
Thank you very much for taking the time to help date and price the fishing gear, your efforts really are appreciated!
I get a lot of joy just having/admiring neat old stuff like that.
One of these days, I think I'll restring the old steel pole and see how it works!
Rob
Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
