I’m an addict

[Pochanaquarhip]

I bought an Abu Garcia spinning reel combo for a really good deal the other day. I’ve only been fishing for like a month and already own 3 rods and reels now and a tackle box full of lures.

Shit.

I have over 3k in six or seven rods and a couple tackle boxes. That’s just the bass gear…

Seek professional help before it's too late.

By the time I had quit fishing I had accumulated a staggering amount of gear. I had enough rods that when gathered up in a bundle over a foot in diameter and reals to go on all of them. I had everything from ultralight trout and crappie rigs to 12 foot surf rods. Fly rods from 4 weight to 12 weight. Deep sea boat rods and reals. At least a dozen tackle boxes. When I moved I sold almost all of it to a dealer for only $400. I don't even want to think about how much money I had spent over the years on it all. I still have a nice collection of Abu 5000 series baitcasters including the very first one I ever bought as a teenager.

Just wait til you learn that you can catch fish in a boat… I bought a John boat and motor and spent 3 months time and dropped $3-4k into it.

Don’t think I’ll justify a boat ever unless I move. Living 2hrs away from any decent water is a kicker.

Kayak! We have a blast fishing out of them

Yes, boats are nice, I've had a couple of them, they're holes in the water you throw funds into.

It's nice to throw out a few string of jugs for cats then get up into coves with old trees still standing for crappie n bass.

It's fun too solemn ski through the jugs when you're done fishing crappie and bass.

Gets dark, go camp site on shore, camp fire, clean fish, throw baited lines in water for cats, go back out few times through the night to check jugs.

Shit it's fun to ski in the moon light to after checking jugs, pulling cats off, rebaiting hooks.

Now that is something I have looked into a little bit.

 

[Kwaynem]

The thing I like most is you can put them in anywhere pond creek or lake they are pretty steady too lots of accessories you can get for them

Eh, I knew a guy in Forgan who had a pontoon.

Plenty of people up here have boats but whether they use them or not is a different story.

As an owner of dry stall boat storage units, I can tell you that most people don’t use their boats very often. For that matter, it’s been a couple of months since I’ve put my bass boat on the water, and it’s stored about 200 yards from the boat ramp.

Kinda the same here. I got pretty deep in the custom rods and ended up having 3 or 4 built for various techniques. Never would I have ever thought I'd pay that much for a rod...

Then the JDM Shimano's with all the parts from Japan in them.

FAAAAKKKKKKK
