Old Baitcasting Reels vs. the New Stuff

[jcb]

I will say one thing for the old reels, when you learned to cast with one, you learned to cast with one. If you learned how to throw a light or medium weight lure in the wind with a Garcia Ambassadeur, you can throw anything, at any time, with today's reels. Feathering a cast may be a lost art.

One thing about the old Garica reels,they will last forever. Replace worn out parts and keep fishin !! New reels are not made as well . But they are good while they last .
