I remember mine. Had to saved many weeks to afford a Daiwa casting rod (I was fascinated by the rod having a U offset) and a spinning reel. I remember this well because the first day I used it we had to run from a sudden tropical downpour. In my haste I lost the fastener screw to hold the reel. Luckily the guy at store from who I bought the reel fashioned a a wing nut and a screw for me. So for the rest of many years, I had the most weird looking setup for hey I had so much fun...
