So I recently acquired a medalist (the 1973-74 model as far as I can tell) that my buddy had on a jig pole for ice fishing, he was selling an extra pack basket he had and I told him I'd buy it if he threw in the reel. It appears to be in perfectly fine working condition, I was wondering if anyone out there is still using one, I'm considering getting a small stream rod and I think that the reel would work out pretty good for a 4 or 3 weight. Anyone have any insight they can provide or their experiences using one of these reels? Maybe a rod that you may have paired it with give me some ideas on putting together a vintage outfit?
