    On the final episode of The Fishin' Hole with Jerry McGinnis there was a good clip of Jerry, Coach Knight, and Ted Williams fishing for Atlantics in Russia
    Mr Williams was using a Medalist reel on a similar low end rod.
    This was not the 'olden days' when that's all there was and Mr Williams could surely afford to use what ever high end stuff he wanted.
    He just chose not to

    The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
