The only thing that's really revolutionized fishing in the last 25 years is the introduction of braided lines, IMO.
Minus that, my gear isn't much different than what I started with.....GSB 120M with a Daiwa BG 30. Only difference now is the reels are a bit smoother,have better drags, and cost 5X as much on a normalized basis.
On the conventional side, I started in the mid 80's with a Newell 229/ZZiplex and still fish pretty much the same combo.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
