Fishing Gear Commercials (1984-86) 

That first commercial when he talks about his 5:1 gear ratio being the fastest on the market i spit my drink out 🤣

Back in the day I worked at a bank, and what got me through those long days in one building dealing with difficult customers was my fishing trips to the lake or river Saturday and Sunday. Saturday was a personal day …just me out in the water not having to deal with anybody and then Sunday I ‘d go with either my friends, dad or cousin. It’s a past time that is not strongly celebrated like it used to be it’s a strong recipe for quality time with the fresh air, your loved ones and yourself

Brings back memories... a tackle box full of beetle spins and rapalas, my dad throwing his Daiwa bait caster and me with my Shimano Quickfire

Does anybody remember smelling the Manns jelly worms in your daddy’s tackel box

I remember seeing all these commercials when I was a kid

Ranger costs no more than an ordinary fishing boat? You gotta be kidding. I was just a kid back then but I remember hearing adults complain about how much more expensive Ranger boats were than others.

😆I miss Al liender I had no idea how funny he was

Love seeing a young AL Lindner!

Thanks a bunch for for the fun of watching this. Get to stop to look into boats and lures and tackle boxes.

You could tow a semi out of a ditch with that Trilene

Lindner ripping the transom off the boat was hilarious

This is GREAT

400 world records!!! 😂

These take me back. Interesting to see what's stood the test of time, or not.

Aint No telling how many Old lures n stuff i got. Lots of the OLD Bagleys, and the first Strike King crankbaits made out of Jutelong Wood.

It's fascinating to see what tackle held up over time. The Ugly Stik is still popular and improving, the Handle-less design Shimano was well ahead of its time, ranger boats are still made one at a time, and the shad rap is still as popular as it is effective. Johnson tackle is all but forgotten, Blue Fox and Beetle Spin have faded away into the trout/panfish market, reels have far less gimmicky knobs and are simpler and better built, and when was the last time you saw a PH meter used frequently on a boat?

Great video, back when fishing didn't cost you an arm and a leg. I've still got much of that old tackle and still use it. I wish they'd bring back pistol grip rods, they always just felt right to me. I have several old Shimano Fightin Rods, and Fenwick Lunkerstiks still in use. Daiwa Magforce wasn't alone back then, the Abu Ultra Mag reels gave them a run for their money too. I was always a big Daiwa fan, but fished more Abu baitcasters back then, but most got put on Daiwa rods.

The good days

What an archive...

Whatever happened to pistol grip baitcasters? I still have my Shimano GT fightin' rod. Love it!

My sole needed this today

It's true that they just don't make things like they used to. Damn, that Trilene line is strong back in the days.

Roland martin got me into baicasting Shakespeare sigma 1

Love the 100% DEET insect repellent.

I've spent hundreds in the last few weeks on ebay.

My goodness Roland Martin looked old in this video and he’s still out there pulling huge bass out the water

Roland Martin =OOOOO!! SON!!!!!

Now its all big money and 15 ball bearings

20:43 That's a lotta damage!

I cant imagine using those short ass rod handles and thinking theres nothing wrong with it
