came across these two pics by accident - beach retrospective - there were pics of kids and surfers etc - thought it was funny they captured these and put them in there too
think guy has his coil backwards - though when I started out (1975)- knew others that used theirs that way too

our rods are some sort of plastic or another - rods in the 70s were metal - that machine in my pic I think is a Micronta (I possibly a Relco or Jetco)
coil is hollow and super lite - and rod is aluminum - so you would have to tune it down if coil was flipped so you would not pick the rod up
