This Browning Silaflex Magnum is pretty sweet…



A Winchester split shot tin is a nice find.



And finally, for the collector who has everything, a vintage trout-themed aftershave tin.



As always, have a great weekend -- and be good to each other, and yourself.

The story and history behind these reels is the culmination of a dream of young men wanting to produce uncompromising quality in their product. I've used Abu Garcia reels since the early days of fishing. I have so many of them, I find myself struggling to choose which ones to fish with. My favorites are now the ones my dad left me.
