Christian,
Respect is something that is earned, certainly not bought off the shelf of either the local tackle shop, nor Walmart. Lotta dingbats out there with the fat wallet to buy the "right reel" that I wouldn't want to be caught out on the water with. (Though I've had my share on charter).
And when I come to think of it, I have great respect for a couple of people who couldn't catch a fish at the Aquarium!!!
I gotta think on this a bit for a response, but to judge one by their equipment and how they use it might be better positioned a little lower on the priority list.
Just what I see in the rear view mirror. (I made dat mistake before......)
