Old Friend Downsizing

[kenny]

One of my best friends just retired from his firm, a business he started almost 50 years ago, and he & the Mrs. moved into a high rise. He decided that I needed his fishing gear more than he did, especially with storage at a premium in their new home. It had the usual old Mirrolures, Bingos, a few Cordel's, etc. The old Filet knife from Finland has a brass but and bakelite(maybe) handle. Some of the Mirrolure patterns I don't recognize, but I've really never been very interested in collecting. I prefer using! Just thought the stuff was kinda interesting.

All lures look in good condition. Better than a lot of mine lol

Couple of pretty good reels in there. The one on the left looks like a left handed Shimano Bantum Mag Plus and the one on the right an Amb. Ultra Mag II. Both great reels that I used in the '80s. Overall some pretty neat stuff

Gotcha some good stuff.

Cool stuff!


Curmudgeon only pawn in game of life.

The old Abu Ambassadeur 2600 is somewhat valuable as are the Bingos, Hump, and the one with the dorsal that I can't remember. I'll fish with the Mirrolures, especially the pink ones. Don't really need the oyster knives, tackle boxes, etc.

The black/chartreuse/orange belly 52 mirrolure is a money bait. Lost mine some years back to a good fish and a poor loop knot. Hard to find for me. If your interested in parting with it, I'd like to buy it from you.

Love the old Bingos...kenny, when you get ready to downsize...can I be your OLD friend?

I've always lived in houses 1000 sq. feet or less, so downsizing for me will be me mixed in a reef ball.

Lol...when I downsize, it'll be in a 7ft long box...8ft deep!
