Ok...I'll play.
I've got a few spinners.
Some more beefier than others....
And I've been known to throw a fly every now and then.
But my passion is offshore stuff...
A couple of my trolling reels.
For soaking bait, when I'm expecting some big'uns...
Some are old school, but reliable
Old school bling...do you remember Pro Gear? I had a whole collection (and I mean COLLECTION) of them....
But lately, Avets are my go to and always reliable work horses....
But I like inshore fishing as well, particularly calico, sandies and spottied bay bass. I've got a Curado for every situation.
There are at least another 20 or so reels, that fill in the 'gaps'. I'm like a golfer with 50 clubs in the bag. One for a chip shot, one for the bunker, another for laying up, etc.
My caddie would die from exhaustion.
I have a couple of float tubes (no pics unfortunately) that I use primarily for fresh water, but they started out in salt water.
That's before these took over the salt water duties from them.
And rods, I've got a 'few'. Seekers, Shikaris, Calstar, PacBay, American Tackle, Rogue, Graphite USA, JAWs blanks and a few others I can't remember the name of, have made it into my quiver. All custom wrapped by me...because I'm peculiar like that. Even my wife and kids have their own custom wrapped stuff; I spoil them, I know.
But I also have a nice assortment of Shimano rods. I like how they handle, plus the nice warranty on the higher end stuff makes a broken tip that much easier to swallow, than a custom wrapped rod where my only recourse is to get a replacement blank and rewrap it. Not fun and has been done a few times unfortunately.
Yeah, I'm a tackle nut but that's how I roll.
My kids are going to be set for life.
