Shimano calcutta reel...$150.00 (discount friends)..
Some kind of shoes with korkers $200?? Nope...My wading shoes were $50.00 bucks...Korkers...well yes....I would think any fool would agree that $75.00 is well spent money to avoid a long hospital stay and possibly paraylasis from a broken neck...which gives me a good idea...save the wasted money that flouro wouyld have cost and buy korkers...now thats a wise purchase..
Simms top....$199.00 Xmas gift money
Only one your correct on is the waders and I think I mentioned that in an earlier post , that was a comfort buy...Got huge discount on that also....paid wholesale....
And most of these "Luxery" surf items...I waited 20 years to buy....
I stick by my comment earlier.....Its the reasons for buying....I still say most buy the top end because they somehow think it will make them instant striper sharpies...And I am saying its not so...
One other thing....I fished a Quantum Iron most of last season...$89.00 bucks....................
Man I guess no one ever caught a bass before flouro...must be in the new century here that the bass decided to change....The fish I caught last year must have been geriatrics from a by gone era...cause I caught them pretty much at will day and night without flouro...Maybe the ones I fish for need glasses  |
I have no idea how u aquired ur fishing gear. The fact is as it is well documented.Here an in ur seminars..If i chose to emulate u.It would cost quite a bit of money.Not excactly entry level expenditures...
Hey, U use what u like. an I'll use what I like..If someone ask's i will tell em..
I cannot argue with ur success but it won't change my mind..
Test's are good reading.There's always lots of variables to consider..
I like the conclusions I have come to in my own tests.
Sure fishing today is loaded with weekend warriors.Guys who do not have the time for whatever reason to hit it hard.They work hard so they have perhaps some surplus cash.Is it such a horror for them to have decent gear.not in my book.I never judge a book by it's cover.I really have no interest in running into anyone when i fish.I certainly don't pay attention to what they are wearing...
Oh an thanks for the offer of tieng my leaders..
I'll have to decline as I can only trust my own knots...
