Default As blue-collar as it gets...

an old Horrocks-Ibbotson glass rod, a Pflueger Medalist, and bluegills on the first day of summer...

Blue collar bluegills seem just right to me.

Nice rig Phil. One of my favorite fish but I'm really blue collar cause I use a spinning rod with worms.

On Father's Day went fishing with my son. He fished for bass while I happily pulled big bluegills off the spawning beds. We had a good fish fry that evening.

For many years the Medalist fly reels were the most popular fly reels used. And for good reason. And we all had them back in the day

I’ve got a Horrocks and Ibbotson split cane 8 footer that’s for something like 5 or 6 weight . Damn things a noddle , but it was a gift from my parents many years ago along with a split cane boat rod . I had the fly rod refinished and probably cost more than the darn things worth , but there is a bit of sentimental value .
