My Rod Is Better Than Yours

[gulfcaptain]

If u ask me its all about prestige..this is a classic case of is my 10 pounder nicer then your 20 rods strapped on your boat.i myself am hooked on fishing not my tools.3 rods all ya need anymore then that your just struttin and cuttin

Then you simply state "yes you have one 10lber, unfortunately you have ONE, lets look on my side shall we....yep, it's full of fish that will weight more then your one as well as the others I had to put on the side with yours since I ran out of room on mine from all the fish I caught with my 20 rods.  Oh and btw, I'm gonna need gas money for todays trip, thanks  "

it still comes down to needing those tools to fish

the golf club analogy really sums this up.....  you could play 18 holes with a 4 iron, 8 iron and a putter but it could make for some long holes and frustrating situations. 

really is just different strokes for different folks.  some are simpletons and some (like me) like to overcomplicate things a bit in an effort to eventually simplify....

Not sure I'd use the term, "simpletons".......

Yep, sure is fun for some, including me.  I like trying different setups based on what I read on this forum and general curiosity.  Like many other members have already said, 'to each their own'..

 

For those of you in warmer climates, enjoy your gear, and for those that have Winter, enjoy cleaning & upgrading your gear and reading this forum!

 

And regarding this post's title - how can your rod be better than mine? It's not in my garage and I can't fish with it!

Yall are right with analogies..any time any of us can go out fishing with one combo 5 days in a row and get skunked or break our own records.just as we can take 20 combos and get skunked or break records.the fish could care less and they have no clue all of us together spend millions on them a yr.all about fun.

I only bank fish right now and I have 7 set ups, but I only take 3. I'm just collecting so when I get a boat next year, I can clutter the deck.
