old rod and reel

[jbp6125]

My Pawoaw gave me his old rod and reel. The rod is a 8.5 foot True Temper Custom Built Fifteen Hundred. The reel is an Oren-O-Matic 1140 D by South Bend. Pretty old but still a good rod and reel. Im really excited about using them.

While I am not familiar with the rod itself, I do have that same reel, however I don't use mine. It is on a collectors shelf however.

Let us know how the fishing is.
