A couple on the Toast....

[Jig Man]

.... Havin to put em in the perch section. Whats this world comin 2.
Anyway, I didn't weight this one, but she was around 2 lbs



This fish hadn't fed yet and had an empty stomach. Almost the magic number...



A good solid fish that doesn't happen very often.




Thank you for lookin...

Great looking fish and really like the reel!!!

Those Century reels have been around for a long and last forever. I still have a couple from when I was a kid and they still work,over 45 years old. Gear ratio is really low so it looks like the slow speed is just what those slabs are wanting. Really nice fish !!!

NICE fish!!!

Yea, I like slow swimin Ronnie's spinners across the top of the rocks. That reel is perfect for it. It was my dad's reel. 40th Anniversary edition. It's not as smooth as my Abu Soron thats loaded with ball bearings, but it is a power house for a small reel. Thanks for the comments.

Jig Man - Now you're really making me feel old!!!!!!!!!! My Century was the first reel I ever bought myself!!!!!!

 

[Jig Man]

FM, we are around the same age. I used them when I was a kid also. They were premo back in the day.

Hey, Virgil Ward didn't just recommend tackle for endorsements!!!!!! If he said it was good you could trust that it was, not like today!!!

 

[Jig Man]

I'll tell ya another thing that's cool about it. Stamped right on the side is Made in the USA.... You don't see that much anymore either!

 

[Hawnjigs]

You youngsters...back in my day Ted Williams word was gold. I'm gonna have to Google Virgil Ward.

Are there any reels still made in the USA?

 

[Hawnjigs]

Wow, famous guy! His show never showed in HI, far as I know.
