That was my thinking mateGreat old school reels would couple up nice with a flood water barbel rod or similar.

Retro class !
Anyone had any experience with these " oldies"?
Allegedly these reels (and similar) are worth stupid money…..and I think they are basically junk.
Mine are PM4000H’s (and I have an Emblem) and I’m told the PM’s are worth 150 quid for the pair ! Considerably more than they cost new.
Some people even make money ‘tricking them up’ with coloured parts etc etc……..Colin Davidson (Anglers Mail columnist) used to have some brown ones for god’s sake !
IMO there are some definite exceptions to this…Shimano Stradic GTMs, super aero GTMs - the ones made in Japan are far superior to modern ones in engineering, clutch and ‘robystness’, baitrunner XTEAs are far superior to modern equivalent baitrunners. I will concede that the new aero match reels are better than the originalsGot to admit, I’ve had all these retro ‘cool’ reels, and they’re just rubbish compared to a decent modern reel. They might last a lifetime with some care, but that’s because they’re so basic and agricultural. Even the SS2600’s I had all got sold because there is much better available for less money (and it’s not a money thing, as I pair them with Hi S rods that aren’t exactly cheap).
The pm,s are superb reels I regret selling mineAllegedly these reels (and similar) are worth stupid money…..and I think they are basically junk.
