What do you consider vintage?

[Billems]

I'm 72 years old; I consider myself "vintage."

This makes sense. Vintage to me is bamboo, fiberglass, Martin/Hardy clicker reels, etc. Guess it just a sign of getting older.

Only gear I have that fits that bill is a Curt Gowdy fiberglass rod and the first “good” flyrod I purchased back in the 80’s- which I really should take out and fish sometime-

If a famous person's name is on the item, and that person died over a decade ago, then feel free to call that item "vintage."
