The oldest item I have is a wooden 3 partition box with sliding lid containing hardy spinners ,some have brass heads and coated with like a wax paper, a treble hook at the back and two "flying" trebles on mono coming from the sides.
The box is dated 1946, I have never used the contents. All my old Mitchell's including an otomatic..and abu reels went to daughter in laws charity car boot , have 3 old daiwa rods from 80's a drennan crystalite, a few old shimano baitrunners and aero match, ASI seat box. A 7 metre fibreglass Garbolino pole that weighs a ton. My other main poles I sold to keep upgrading., but keep looking out for a shimano diaflash in good condition or a shimano Aernos, not an old pole but one of the best i had then sold.
