Not this past year but my biggest equipment loss was a brand new
10' honey blank Lami wrapped by Dave Hammock at Murats. I had it leaning up against the back of my truck and a bunch of the Thundermist Striper Club guys came into Murats. Someone said something about getting coffee and I said I'd make the run.

Yep, you can guess the rest....:wall:

Not hard to do. Fish 100 nights and lose one jig a night, with the tax---you're almost there.

dislocated shoulder, loss a VS 150 and a 9 ft J Kennedy Fisher after getting swept off a jetty Sept 21 2006. Plug bag I tossed on the rocks and a friend grabbed. Just glad to be here and still fishing

All of my striper mojo this year. :crying:

about a dozen lures. to blues, false albies, and that errant cast you get when the bail closes on you. It's really enjoying to watch a 20.00 plug go hurtling towards the vineyard, and there's nothing you can do about it.

easy way to solve the problem:Remove the bail and put a manual pickup on the reel...

I have it all figured out for next season....the fish don't stand a chance

BROKEN
snapped my Daiwa SealineX 10'er, cut a slice in the front of my hip waders, lost a pair of cheap shades, cheap pliers, filet knife, cheapie measuring tape, a Wally World headlamp, and me pride on an early Sept monstah, that got away...................she still wakes me up in a cold, cold sweat :lasso::lasso:.

Me too, while casting, it sounded like an explosion. The company would not stand behind the warrenty, they said I crushed it. (complete BS)
