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

I have no idea how u aquired ur fishing gear. The fact is as it is well documented.Here an in ur seminars..If i chose to emulate u.It would cost quite a bit of money.Not excactly entry level expenditures...
Hey, U use what u like. an I'll use what I like..If someone ask's i will tell em..
I cannot argue with ur success but it won't change my mind..
Test's are good reading.There's always lots of variables to consider..
I like the conclusions I have come to in my own tests.
Sure fishing today is loaded with weekend warriors.Guys who do not have the time for whatever reason to hit it hard.They work hard so they have perhaps some surplus cash.Is it such a horror for them to have decent gear.not in my book.I never judge a book by it's cover.I really have no interest in running into anyone when i fish.I certainly don't pay attention to what they are wearing...
Oh an thanks for the offer of tieng my leaders..
I'll have to decline as I can only trust my own knots...

Brutal, just brutal...Fot the last time I said that the gear does not make the fisherman...I have good gear? yes...Do is let me catch more fish? Nope....To many guys are SOLD on the notion that a certain product is going to make them better...doesnt work that way..

I never said in my seminars that a guy needs to go out and buy a calcutta..I only say it is my choice reel and that I only recomend conventional for slingin eels...

I Would also decline in return...as my knots are the only ones I trust...

My .02 cents. I have used fluro leaders and never found a difference. I fish almost completely in the dark as does my partner Bryan. He too tried fluro leaders and never found a difference. In fact I use 50 mono I buy at Wally World for $1.95 for 150 yards. I have caught a ton of bass on them and never had a problem.
For me, I cannot justify the additional cost of fluro. Maybe there is a difference if you are fishing in daylight but then you are probably not using eels either
