Old gear

[Striper80]

I have a similar rod but it has a cork grip. My grandfather gave it to me. An old man we used to fish with when I was a kid used to use it all the time. He used to sand and varnish it every year. When he passed away my grandfather got it and gave it to me. I used it a few times but just hung it in my wall now. I wonder how many fish were caught on it? The old man was a hell of a fisherman.
