Any New Gear For The 08' Season Planned?
Planning on picking up any new gear for this upcoming season at your local bait and tackle or at the upcoming shows? A new reel, rod or tackle that you have on your list?

I don't plan on picking it up at any show, but before the season's over I see one of those new 10' Lami Super Surf rods in my hands 
I think it's also a pretty safe bet that I'll be picking up 100 jigs over the next 8 or 9 months. |

Sorry, I should have clarified.....the shows just get me thinking about new gear but I do most of my buying at a few local shops I frequent. Do the shows get you thinking about new gear? There sure is alot to look at!

One thing I never seem to pass up at the shows.......
JERKY!!...but I guess I shouldn't consider that gear ?
This year is just like last year,,, and the one before that and the one before that, I'm still trying to justify a VS -  - |

I have to get 2 new rods for reels I got for Christmas. Looks like it may be an Arra 1322 spin and a 10ft. Lami surf and jetty conventional. Problem is $$$. lol Those supre surf look an feel awesome, might try one of those instead of the 1322.

Get the VS - you won't regret it. And in the unlikely chance you do regret it you can sell it on Ebay or in the classifieds... |

I already picked up a Stradic 8000FI for my Rainshadow 1088.
Want to take a look at the newer Spheros FB and hang it on an 8' or 9' light rod,maybe something in the St.Croix line or another Batson.

5. smelting pot ,, like to pour my own lead .
6. need skins ,, running low
7. more Big Fish plugs
8. Will Power ... not to eat hostess cup cakes ,, candy bars, peanut butter crackers,, chips, any kind of greasy beach food I can find ,, This will be the hardest .. no sure I even like fishing. Fishing may be just an excuse to hang on the beach and eat junk food ..

You should be all over BigBo's skiff on classifieds..... 
My wish list is great, but pricey.... so in these times, I am holding off
But...
T-top from Redman Marine
50VSW
80VSW
Two 80-100 lb rods
squid bars, daisy chains, and birds
So I will make do with what I have, sell a few reels, get a pogie net, and maybe a Cabo40 or 60 as go-to spin reel for the boat. |
