If the older gear works then keep on killing fish with it. Just make sure the drags are replaced on time to keep things smooth. I keep telling my self that when my old Newells and original Daiwa sealine finally die I'll replace them with some thing more modern. Except my old reels just keep on keeping on. I landed a 35lb YT on Tuesday with an original black and blue Daiwa SL30 that I bought used for $20 about 10 years ago. The old reel performed flawlessly. Keep using your old gear until you need to get new gear. Mike
