There's no doubt in my mind that if i fished with a similar # test mono line leader i would not have landed the fish..
I use it for everthing.up to 80 lb test.Cept' for pencils i use 100 lb Big Game. Cabela's usta sell 100 yd spools for 28 dollars but i don't see em anymore.While i was in the catalog though i did order a snorkel
I don't understand the eletist attitude of beating down of todays catalog angler.I have seen todays angler they are bullet proof.usta be u had to have balls of stone to stand in the surfline for a tide in 45 degree water while u waders leaked.If someone wants the best gear what difference does it make.I'm happy I don't have to fish in canvas or rubber waders with the plastic bags around my feet anymore.
Cause ur waders always leaked..
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& Why don't u go thru ur list of catalog favorites.
Lets see if i can help, if I remember correctly.
400 dollar Simms waders............Check
Some kinda shoe with korkers 200$
225 dollar simms dry top w/ eel slime...Check
300 dollar Gloomis rod................Check
250 dollar Shimano Calcutta reel..Check.
3 dollar plastic eel pail..
Boy it don't look like linen line an calcutta rod with a penn 155 now does it..
It's looks like the best available. Pretty much can't blame u for using the best.
Why get on someone else..
Further more no one ever accused u of being a product cheerleader..If someone like me wants to help a friend sell a product that I know works well where is the crime in that..

Does the practice go on to new levels on the internet??
Sure it does..It's like any lesson in life.It's ultimately up to the individual
to make there own choice's..

Check your facts bud....Gloomis rods...Gifts...free..did not buy...Gloomis rep gave me several rods...and McKenna gave me the rest...not a penny spent....

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
