My 1st 4 reels were Diawa 50H's. Still have them. They still work and aside from a very slight pitting on the chrome reel seat they look like new. Funny, I look on eBay for stuff a lot. They sell for more used now than what I paid for them 20 years ago. You can't beat quality. Phat, you sound like me. My wife counted all my rods last year and told me I have just over 50 (Salt and fresh) Most I aquired the same way you did. Garage sales, friends giving them to me, second hand stores, etc. When I die someone's going to inherit a gold mine. :)

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
