Early this year, in a fishing forum I am active in, out of pure curiosity I started reading the subforums on old fishing tackle. One could say that was a spark that started a flame. I became so fascinated that I bought my own 50 years old Quick 331. Fishing with it was (and still is) a wonderful experience, so three other reels followed shortly, another one last week and there will certainly be more in the future. Except the last one, I took all these reels apart and thoroughly cleaned (included sanding some of them), polished and lubricated the parts. Now they work almost as new (apart from some very light play between some of the parts) and have brought me some very nice fish already.
I also bought myself a solid fibreglass rod, but I admit, I am still getting used to fishing with it. Rods are a bit more difficult to obtain for me, since I am not willing to buy them from abroad due to high shipping costs.
In search for Information I stumbled upon this Forum. Apart from fining some very interesting stuff, I also found out, that a few of my fellow boardies are active here and it’s always nice to meet some old acquaintances
I am afraid at the moment I cannot contribute much to this forum, but I sincerely hope that will change with time ...
Best regards!
Welcome to the forum.
