I have a couple of older Mitchell spinners, but I’m not home. If interested message me in a few days, older Diawa as well, all are 70’s vintage. Trapr

A few pics: ![](http://i.imgur.com/zCAK9CS.jpg) ![](http://i.imgur.com/hW2JIRD.jpg) ![](http://i.imgur.com/rMwZvbh.jpg) They are now the nicest poles that I have. The FS86 has a loose end cap & the ferrel at the tip is loose. Any advice on a suitable glue? 2-part Epoxy? The FS61 looks like it hasn't been used.

Hot melt on the tip so it can be replaced when crush it. Niiiice rods. Bring that rod down here and I'll let you stress test it. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53436479367_0421263d04_k.jpg)

That's it Mike, thank you. I absolutely could not find it and I lost or accidently deleted it from my favorites. I've been a member there for years. I just looked in, haven't been on in years, and didn't see a fiberglass forum. I could have sworn they used to have one

Visited a local "Antique Mall" yesterday. Several old rods & reels that were interesting. Most were in bad shape & all looked over-priced. Saw a steel rod. Had a surprising amount of flex, but heavy. Many bamboo rods. Saw a square glass rod that looked a lot like soap stone.
Found an Airex Air-Glass Light No. 221 in fairly nice shape. I'm somewhat interested in that one. Any idea of history & value? I found a few listings on eBay with a wide variation on pricing.
Thank you.

Ive collected old fishing lures since I was a kid. Ive written several articles published in Magazine of the National Fishing Lure Collectors club and Hunting and Fishing Collectibles Magazine before it shut down. Im known for collecting vintage folk art-homemade lures. Im a serious collector. Slowed down the past few years as prices got too crazy for stuff that would fit in my collection. I maintained a blog about it for several years. chancedunlap.blogspot.com/?m=1

We lived off Lake Norman in NC and between lake fishing and proximity to 3,000 miles of trout water in NC I've collected an embarrassing amount of spinning and bait casting gear with the related tackle. And there's the fly rods that probably total 15 +/-. I like my Winston rods. Demo'd glass and bamboo. Even looked at buying some custom bamboo from Winston and a small maker in Georgia named Oyster. While the bamboo roads are definitely the best looking rod I just could not get the feel of those style of rods. If you've ever got the "I wants" for a shotgun or rifle really bad and then handled it only to find out it felt like putting the wrong shoe on the wrong foot. That's how it was with me and bamboo. So you could say it my collector But I don't know that any of them are old enough to be considered vintage quite yet.
Oh and then there's fly tying....
