Ditto Betty.
We spent many seasons behind an old Pfleuger Supreme. Even the uncles could not get us to convert to their Ambassadors with their drags. Give us direct drive anytime.
Our uncles were super bait slingers.....quite accomplished in that system of pestering steelhead. Our passion was lures, so we often substituted flies at the end of our string, quite successfully, during our "transition time" sooooo long ago. Lots of sweet memories arise with your photos.....thanks! And enjoy your ride.
