I feel like most of the newest gear out nowadays is pretty extreme. My old man, is exactly that in his fishing style, an old man. He still believes in Penn Squidders with mono and old honey lamis and black harnells that he must of bought for 48 cents about 70 years ago. He keeps telling me that I don't need have the stuff I have, and he may be right.
I don't use triple split rings because I haven't had an experience that justifies needing them. If I lose a big fish because of a split ring problem then, hell, give me quadruple split rings.
I keep saying I want to get back to the basics but all this cool, new shhtuff keeps coming out. Do we need these things, probably not, but do we feel me confident with them, most definitely.
