Do you need money to catch fish? - Page 2

Tavery5 · 07-30-11, 11:45 AM

Yes, is the simple answer to your question. Regardless of what level of fishing you get into you will have an investment. Rod, reel, line, bait, transportation, are essentials, then you start with other items like tackle bags, lure assortment, stringer, sun glasses, the list goes on and on. The important thing to remember is that for most of us this is just a recreational activity, some of us take it very serious and choose to participate at a high level , others choose to approach it with a much more casual attitude, neither is right or wrong. I have said it before and I will say it again, GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN and don't worry what anyone else is doing. It's all about fun, so have some.

This is the best statement you will see in this thread.

That's a great way to put it, Tav. Now where did you steal that?

Tavery5 · 07-31-11, 04:28 PM

Actually it is stolen, I have a good friend who says it all the time, not sure where he got it from.

Got a flyer from GreenTop (Richmond, VA) the other day. Big sale on some items that I wanted to pass along since this same topic comes up every once in a while...

Abu Garcia Cardinal 503 ALB $39.99
Abu Black Max with 6'6" M rod $49.99

There was another combo for $49.99 and two more rods and another reel for the $39.99 price (I can't remember the names). All were normally retailed in the $79 to $89 range. Good deals for good products for the beginner or someone who just fishes occasionally.

Now to get the same deal find a location that will match the price (like BPS) and print out the info from the GreenTop website.....

"Get in where you fit in" is a trademark slogan from rapper Too Short. It was actually the title of one of his albums.

Look at the big brain on the birthday boy. LOL, Thanks Joe.

Who would think Too $hort's pimpin' azz would create one of the best fishing quotes of all-time? Lmao.

One warning though, once you try some more expensive gear its hard to go back
