What's yours.
I love my Okuma baitfeeder. I have the CD-90 series reels, on a STAR and An UGLY STICK.

My Okuma baitrunner works great. I can adjust the freespool drag to just barely hold back a 2oz. live mullet, or a 2 lb. blue runner, and at the flick of the switch, go to "strike/fighting drag" in less than 1/2 a second.
I use the Pflueger Medalist. Its a great reel for the money. Its what I use on my charters also.
Classy looking reel!
Save a job buy American!
Anything made by Penn...

SADLY. Penn sold-out or moved their mfg. to Japan.
I like the florescent green, I think they call it Envy green, myself. I can see it better.
And of course with all that Penn rods and reels you need plenty of lures:
MMOMEQ-55...great lures, but no Hopkins? Gators? Mirror lures? Bucktails? They work wonders up here in the DE/MD/NC surf. I am going to have to run out to the garage and get my tackle boxes and start cleaning my stuff up as this darn snow is beginning to melt! We are down to the "bottom" 18" or so! My Whaler's boat cover has snapped and it is full of snow so that job has got to start soon. Makes me want to move closer to the Southland, but then I see them stories of large 'gators and Burmese Pythons and think not. Guess I will just stay here and dream of warmer days!
What do you think is in the grey boxes? LOL I use alot of buck tails mainly in chartreuse with white heads. These are just some pics I took for insurance purposes.
With the gators you have to reel fast in fresh water before they get to your fish. I have pulled many heads in from gators down Fla way.
Now the Burmese are not that bad. I used to have one that ate 20lb rabbits. She was about 15' maybe. She would crawl up beside you while watching TV. They are real affectionate creatures who like to hug a lot.
I have been cleaning 2 or 3 reels a week getting ready for spring. Just bought new line for all of them. Dang I spent almost $250.00 on line along. I use mostly Ande for salt water. My Penn internationals in 30, 50 and 80 lb class I keep in the house. To expensive to put out in the workshop.
It still works fine.
Anyone ever use a Spinmaster reel? They were dark green. I still have one that I used in Fla for years. I have never opened it.

I remember those. They had a white spool didn't they?
MMOMEQ-55...damn eyes, they are the first to go! You certainly do have some bucktails in the boxes. Didn't register with me as I am partial to the whites. Being from WV, we don't really cotton to snakes much so having one snuggle up beside you, well, would not go over very well with my grandmother, Mable Harper from Harper WV. Granny taught us that the only good snake was a dead one so we sent many a copperhead/rattler to their doom when we went "burry pickin'" when I was a kid. Your photo, actually, looks like one of my kinfolk from the hill country...Jacob Harper from Harper WV, my gggrandfather! Back to cleaning them Penn greenies!
I used to live up in Harper's Ferry WV for about 8 years. Loved it up there. Fished the Potomac and about every creek and pond around there. I borrowed that pic of the old man from Leathercraft Forum. Thought it was a cool pic.

I still have a few old PENN USA made reels.My 4-0 tooka a walk a few years ago, i still have a 210 level wind and a few Squidders.
Amen to old Penns...
Still have my 5/0 Senators and Gold Internationals. Not seeing as much action as years ago. But made to last!
