Vintage Tackle

Just made a new video using vintage tackle. This time it was my dad’s Zebco 44 trigger spinning reel, my father-in-law’s Wright and McGill spinning/fly rod and one of my dad’s old flatfish lures. Each of these items are at least 55-60 years old. Video should be posted to my YouTube channel in the next couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. My last vintage tackle video is here. Check it out. It was a great time fishing! It just goes to show you don’t need the latest tackle to catch fish! Yesterday I was talking with my hat embroiderer at The Merch Maven, and we got on the subject of hanging on to things in our past that were good and meaningful. So as I was writing this post, these two things reminded me of Jeremiah 6:16 that says: “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Sometimes we need to hang on to the old ways of doing things, because sometimes the old ways are actually better. Remember that the next time you want to chuck some old item or way of doing things away!
