wow...my first fishing experience... was living in mansfield in the early 60's. a friend of my mothers, son, went and bought me this pole and reel combo. it was about 3 feet long made of metal with plastic eyes with a plastic conventional reel with some kind of rope for line. i honestly can't remember if i caught something that day. i do remember having my first snarl. the friends name was paul and he was also the person who took me by train to my first red sox game. he was killed in vietnam in 69. truley a very special person.
