I have a Pflueger Supreme from around 1974 that is still on a decent, more modern, rod. Long-line trolling, bottom fishing, etc. Can't cast it unless it's got a big weight on it.

No idea how old it is, but I have a "Ted Williams" (Sears) gold spinning reel I have used the last few years for crappie and perch. It was new in-box from my wife's uncle. He gave me all his gear when he moved to an apartment. It's nostalgic, all metal, and it works.

I have Garcia 5000, Mitchell 300, Zebco, and Johnson stuff I can't throw away, but I don't use.

 

My body, vintage early 1950s.

 

My boat is a 92 Fisher marsh hawk 3v that I rebuilt the last couple years. Think that still counts right?

 

Got a pre-2000 6’ St.Croix Premier built like a tank compared to my newer one. And also a mid to late ‘80s 6’ Fenwick HMX that are my go to creek rods! Love the older stuff!

 

I'm still using a couple of made in USA Falcon spinning rods and one Castaway rod, all bought new around Y2K. Wasn't counting them really. I've got 2 old BPS Bionic Blade rods with Johnson 710A's for when Mama goes with us, and a couple more cheapie rods with Johnson Century 100B's for when she tries to catch crappies. She has no interest in learning how to use spinning gear.

 

I don’t have a pic because it’s up at the lake currently but I am still using my old Zebco 33 reel and 6’ rod combo that my Dad bought for me in 1970. That was the staple perch fishing rod for the family back then and I’m still using it now. It continues to catch a bunch of perch every year.
