These are incredible reels. They cast as far if not farther than my Curado SF's, are smoother on the retrieve and have a great drag system in place. The absolute BEST part, is that on the occasion or two that something went wrong, I sent them in to BPS reel service, and was given a brand new one in return. Normal price is 79.99 and has been for some time. But, I have purchased every one of them that I own for 59.99 or less. |

Isn't it obvious, Mark?
So we can finally know who is the biggest idio...er, I mean who has the best taste in fishing gear.

Well my most expensive, and probably the least used rod and reel I have would be my Shimano Calais 100A on a Loomis GLX 6.6 H Ftip.

Yea it's a nice reel and rod. But I much prefer my revo's over it for some reason.

My most expensive setup is a Revo Premiere on a Shimano Crucial rod. Got both the Rod and Reel on sale so I don't have all that much into the setup. Retail Rod 140 and Reel 260, Actual Rod 80, Reel 140. This is a very light combo.

I can't find the price of the GLX that is probably most expensive, 7'6" spinning Mag-Light. It seems to be a steelhead rod, but I got it for launching tubes a long ways. I found the 3 piece model, but not the one piece. Hardly ever use it. Most all reels paid under $200 with the exception of me paying full price on a Chronarch 50MG. Wish I had 20 of those, well 50s and 51s. If the Core's ever go on sale or I get rich.........

I agree. I see this going down a too familiar path. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your stuff but I think I see a storm on the horizon and if it happens I don't want to have a dog in the fight.

I got a custom built Shakari blank rod that retailed for $160 and a Revo Premiere from the same person. The combo weighs 11 or 12 oz and runs $380 or so. Got it for $160. Got a Shimano Scorpion with a Loomis Mossyback that would cost $435 for $215. Rod was half off and a buddy picked the Scorpion up over in Japan for $65.

I see your point, but I have to say if anyone gets pissy over someone else having expensive fishing tackle, well then they just need to grow up. This was not a "NYAH NYAH, I've got better tackle than you!" thread. It was more of a "man, I can't believe I got bit by the monkey that hard" kind of thread. It has also been more of a "I got a really good deal" thread. This is the "Bragging Board and Monkey Talk" section. Wouldn't we all like to have a couple really nice fishing rods? I think the answer is yes, though obviously, it's not in the budget for some guys. And nothing against those guys. We all play with the cards we're dealt. For some reason, I'm sure nobody would get angry if we started a "what is your biggest bass?" thread. I don't know...maybe someone would. but I can assure you 99% of the members here would tell them to shut it and lighten up. Why is expensive tackle so different? Is it a sin to buy nice things if you have the money? Heck...maybe I should get mad when others post pics of their great family or their hot girlfriend. It's not fair because I don't have one!!! Same thing. Bottom line, I don't think anyone here was rubbing it in anyone's face. /rant off.

Now now fellas, I don't want it to become a bad thread or get closed because of something someone said, and than an argument gets started. Please, if anyone has any disagreements, than please settle than over PM. I would rather that we stayed on topic and if this does not get closed over something stupid.

I also agree that nobody would be offended by a what is your biggest bass thread, however I also think that is just a standard issue topic for fishing and is taken as such. But where there is a conversation about money someone will eventually take exception to it and there is more often than not hurt feelings in the end. Maybe I am just having a knee jerk reaction to what happened on here in the past but I don't want to see that happen again and I don't want to see any of our members go through what you know who went through.

You know what, I stated what I spent earlier in the thread... $60 for a Pflueger spinning/rod combo... it does not bother me or anger me that some of you have $1000 setups.
I see it that we are sharing what we have and how much it cost. Why anyone would get angry at that is really beyond me, but if they do then they probably shouldn't be an active member on any online forum anyways as they will continuously get pissy about something and keep leaving or get banned until they have nowhere left to go. |

Not to mention how much most of us own in just baits alone. I bet if everyone here was to put together all their baits, each one would probably have a few thousand dollars worth (probably more).

I prefer the minimal approach. $60 rod/reel combo, maybe $200 worth of lures, $100 canoe, $10,000 used vehicle, $1000 used popup camper.

Nothing in the world wrong with that. Whatever satisfies your monkey.

It isn't about what you have, it's about how much you enjoy what you have.
