My dad bought me a pair and him a pair in 1971 all 5000s. I was 9 yo. I could throw those suckers a mile. I have all four on my mantle. Best reels ever made.
Gorgeous reels, so what's the story on how you acquired them?
I heard they were available. Got online and found a matching set. They were not cheap with matching numbers but well worth it. I could find one or the other but took a while to find a matching set. I've been a FF since 2002 and have a lot of friends who are LEO. 9/11 touched me and I wanted something to remember it by.
