Never had a blue cut me off w/the 50 lb seaguar bite leader

when and if I can afford to buy good gear be it leader material or goretex waders I've done so and have been better off across the board...you know you've got to pay for quality(i.e.DURABILITY)

No, of course nice clothing does'nt make you a better fisherman but you'll be more comfortable so what the heck...

I agree, your right...The problem is that comfort,etc is not why these guys buy the stuff...its all about status..

I fished for many years in hip boots and bibs...caught plenty

Seems pretty judgemental to say that. Unless your in someones head, you have no idea why they do what they do. Do some do it for status? maybe. For others I'm sure it just increases there enjoyment. For whatever reason, to each his own.

Does anyone really think buying this stuff gives them status?


Back to the topic... for me flouro is a waste of money.

Me? Judgemental?? No way,Opinionated,,,,,yup,,,,....Having said that , I still think its high school mentality...I have it so now you need to get it...I call it the way I see it and thats how I see it....Like in the 80s when everyone had to hav Nike with the red swoosh....Made them run faster I guess

its always goOd to get off topic..

Be yourself, buy what you want, why should anyone care what anyone else thinks about you.
I use orvis mirage fluro, its not that much more money but has good qaulitys, whether or not you put me in any catagory I could careless.
We don't click on this site all day all week and all year for chits and giggles, we want an edge....for a little more money, guess what it is edge,, that same money you chose to spend on a lure thats been hangin around (literaly) for years. I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree but if your gonna fish in daylight conditions for BIG fish then fluro will give you the edge you need.

Status? Places I fish I very rarely run into anyone. & if I do, Its @ night & they don't see what I'm using. And I dont say Hey there, Im using a Spro Power Swivel with Yo Zuri Hybrid & and Rosco Snap. I can speak on behalf of most of "These Guys that buy the stuff", that the last reason they buy stuff is for the status. Of course there are always the "ginkers" as Leo N. Orsi, Jr. called them in Striper Chronicles. The fisherman wannabes that go to the tackle shop & buy all the best gear but have no idea how to use it. Maybe then you could say someone is buying something for the status. But anyone that knows anything knows status in the Surfcasting community comes with what you have done, who you are, the knowledge you have & of course the fish you have caught (and landed), consistently. NOT the gear that you use.
