    Wish Fin-nor had never stopped making those reels esp the Tri-gear. So good to watch and 100% enjoyable.

      Yeah if it’s not about race or politics or men being women and vice versa then it’s not important to them 🤷‍♂️I’m only 44 years old and the older stuff like this is just gold

    I had the pleasure of fishing on a couple of those boats, including aboard on Sea Strike skippered by Dennis "Brazzaka" Wallace. Great days those early Cairns ones.
