Hi Steve,

Thanks for looking up that info. I hear you on the 704 as well. Considering there are not many huge fish around, I feel that most of my even smaller reels could handle a nice fish. I just have this sickness where I can't stop buying stuff.
So next year when I get out there and start catching more 27-29" bass I could look cool and in style. LOL

You are a bit too late on the Saltiga as UPS should be ringing the bell any day now. I just couldn't resist. Hopefully I get it in time to show it to you.

I have quite a few old surf fishing books and they are testament that you can catch big fish on the standard, basic stuff, stuff that was around then and is still around now. So I definitley hear you on the "need" versus "want" in tackle. I'm sure when I get the bill I will be like Homer Simpson -Doooooh!

Pete J. came over last year and said "you better stop buying more stuff". Well, he's coming over this weekend and he is going to flip out! I better start hiding some stuff now.

Talk to you soon.
