Super User *Hootie Posted August 21, 2012 Super User Posted August 21, 2012 Anytime we have a post asking, what is your favorite, (fill in the blank), I find my answer has changed. Example, if you had asked me 2 months ago what is your favorite baitcaster, I would have said Lews, I have 6 of em. Ask me the same question today, and I would say my new Chronarchs, 2, 200E's, and 1, 50E. Do I think they are better than my Lews? Of course not. They are simply the newest ones. The last ones I have purchased of nearly anything, reel, rod, lure, whatever, tends to be my favorite for a while....till the next new thing comes along. I guess I am a confirmed tackle junkie. Anyone else like that? Hootie Quote
TNBassin' Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm a huge tackle junkie too, but I like to stick with what I know. I was in the market for a new bait cast reel, and was dead set on the Revo SX. I knew the gen 3s were hitting soon, but I've had the pleasure of using the gen 2 quite a few times since my girlfriend has one, and just had to go with the gen 2. I don't necessarily believe that newer is better, as companies will put out an amazing product one year, only to cheapen it the next. Quote
LuckyHandsINC. Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm definitely a tackle junkie. I also fall into the newest is my favorite category. This time though it may last a while. I got an 893 nrx its only about two weeks old but its really unbelievable. I use it football jigs and love it gota 51/2 lb on it this weekend that I really believe was a result of the rods sensitivity. Quote
The Rooster Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I've had that experience before with new tackle. It could just be the kid in us. We never really grow up, we just get into more expensive toys. 1 Quote

Super User LgMouthGambler Posted August 21, 2012 Super User Posted August 21, 2012 Tried all but cant change Quote
MichiganFishing1997 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I like to try new things, but i still stick to some of the things i love. Shimano reels, still have a few other brands, havent found a rod maker yet though, i dont have two of any rod other than 2 berkley cherrywoods. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted August 22, 2012 Super User Posted August 22, 2012 Not for me, I've had my Daiwa Fuego for some time now, a 2005 reel, and used to have a SOL before it was stolen. They were discontinued, but were my favorite reels compared to my newer stuff like Curado's, and some BPS reels, etc. As far as when I get a new product, it does get a bit more use even when it's not warranted, but I want to try out my new product to get a good feel for it. Using it more doesn't make it my favorite. Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted August 22, 2012 Super User Posted August 22, 2012 My favorite(s) is(are) the ones that has caught more/ bigger fish. I've always liked the way this guy thinks........... I have my favorites but always open to try something new. Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted August 22, 2012 Author Super User Posted August 22, 2012 I have my favorites but always open to try something new. That's it SS, variety. Some of us like things constantly changing, some like changes in certain things, and some can't accept changes of any kind. But that's okay, I remember a line from an old rock song back in the70's that says, '' now wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same''. Hootie Quote
