What would you have picked?

[JB]

yesterday I celebrated my 30th year as a steel worker, 25 years of that being a crane operator. So, the company I work for www.hennypenny.com
gives us a day at the ball park, fifty bucks and meal, plaque and paid vacation day, plus a catalog that you can pick anything out and they deliver it to your door.
At first I see a surround sound just like my son in law hase, thought about getting a better one than we have, then glance at a twenty inch tv, a camcorder, a Shimano chronarch reel and rod, and on n on. I wanted some jewelry to tell ya the truth, I collect black onyx rings and they had one.
I went online and started pricing what they had to offer and found that the simmons recliner they offered retailed at 459.00, I bout crapped!
I have never bought any furniture new, but took the plunge and got one.
I've got enough baitcasters and even tho a new one would have been sweet, I figured I 'd get something I dont have instead of upgrading our sound system and other stuff.
Does anyone have the cronarch reel and did i mess up LOL?
