Preseason Discussion #2: Gear Talk

[capecodkid]

Gotta spool up everything this weekend then my reels will be all set. Re-rig some lures and tie some leaders and flies and I'll be good to go.

Replacing and upgrading some gear for the upcoming season. I've tried to save loot in the past by purchasing cheap equipment, and it's come back to bite me in the rear. So this year my credit card company is loving me

GSB1201m getting wrapped as we speak. New set of waders (ll bean rapid river), along with a pair of the korkers crosscurrents. Finally made the plunge with a bogagrip. A few other odds and ends... I have pretty much all the plugs I need, save a few more of those NB plastic bottledarters, and a few more wooden pencils and dannys. I need to start hitting craigslist hard to find a large old women's bike that I can convert into a canal cruiser. Other than that, I'm pretty much set.

Still adding to the piggy bank for a VS250... About halfway there...

Reels and rods were cleaned up at the end of the season so they are all ready to go except for putting line on some of the reels. Plugs have been cleaned up with hooks replaced as needed. Have all the hooks for eel fishing so will tie up leaders towards end of April. Got my eel trapping permit and federal registration card. Rigged up about 50 sluggos. Been out checking the ocean front and getting in shape.

Still recovering from shoulder surgery but still hoping to be able to start fishing in May. About the only thing I need to do is get a new pair of Korkers, the old ones will never make it through the season.

Birthday coming up in a week and I'll be getting a new GSB1201M for a present.

Now only need fish to return!

Started tuning plugs and identifying sinkers from floaters.
Rigged some rubber.
Reversed some braid.
