[Harris Breth’ likely tackle.

ATTACH=full]1641240746[/ATTACH]
South Bend model 346. 9 ft. 6 wt. bamboo. Note winding check and grip shape. SB made a dozen models with this grip and check, so can’t identify the actual rod.

Two likely reel candidates for Harris’ outfit. Left, Martin model 63. Right, Ocean City model 77.

This pic clinches it. His reel is a Martin, one of their models either 61 or 63. We can’t see the spool release so can’t say for sure which one.

Got a TU promotion in the mail several weeks ago.
Offering a SPF 50 sun hoodie for a $40 dollar donation.
I could use a new one, and went for it.
Haven't got it yet though.

Meanwhile, was in a Walmart the other day
And they have some decent looking ones there for $15......

I was gifted one of those plaid performance Orvis shirts for my birthday and I’ve got to say it’s crazy comfortable and keeps me cool on hot days.

I’m for functionality and performance all day over “appearance”, I certainly don’t blame anyone or judge them for wanting all of that in one package, particularly when there are brands like orvis, and countless other brands, producing it.

Time on the water is sacred for me, so the time I am on it I want to have all the “tech” I can to make my experience as enjoyable as possible. If it’s “fashionable” that’s just a plus.
