Brute Apparently you're not living up to your name. If you were, nothing would last that long in your hands. ;D Quote
Brute Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hey Fishing Rhino, If you only knew. I can bust up some stuff with the best of them. > One of the reels was my late fathers and is over 50 years old. I'm extra careful with that one. Brute Quote
The_Natural Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Thanks, I saw your collection, mine is low rent district compared to yours The thing I have learned is if you hang out on our Flea Market and wait for sales you can fish better equipment and save a lot of money. Cart 7 in particular has been a source of a lot of really fine buys, he always understates the condition of what he sends you! Low rent or high rent, your livin' just the same. That is what makes the fishing hobby so great. In any other hobby I've been in, the more money you have the better you are. Not so in fishing.... Quote

Super User CWB Posted January 9, 2009 Super User Posted January 9, 2009 I don't have dedicated setups. I have all my rods on my rod racks, and my reels in soft reel cases. When I go fishing, I choose the rod/reel combos I need for what I want to do. What line the reel has on it is a pretty big factor as well. My arsenal changes yearly, and I'm addicted to foam split grips at the moment. I only own 1 loomis rod right now! I sold most of them to my uncle for a good price. I could have all Loomis rods next year....I'm spontaneous like that. Right now I have...Reels: 2 Daiwa Zillion 7:1's 2 Diawa Zillion 6.3:1's 5 Daiwa Anniversary Zillions 5 Daiwa Vientos 6 Daiwa TD-Z's 2 Diawa TD Avantage spinning reels Rods: Daiwa Zillion 7' M XF Daiwa Zillion 7' MH F Daiwa Zillion 6'9" MH XF Daiwa Zillion 7' H fast Daiwa Zillion 7' H fast Daiwa Steez 6' M Daiwa Steez 6'3" MH Daiwa Steez 6'3" MH Daiwa Steez 6'7" MH Daiwa Steez 6'8" ML Spinning Daiwa Steez 6'8" ML Spinning Lamiglas XMG 50 704 Lamiglas XMG 50 704 Quantum Superlite 7' M Quantum Superlite 6'6" M Quantum Superlite 7' MH Quantum Superlite 6'6" MH Loomis 723 IMX Spinning I have several bulk spools of Trilene 100% fluoro, so I'm using fluoro more than I normally would or 'need' to (i.e. cranking). I'm using 90% Trilene fluoro, and 10% CXX at the moment. And just FYI, I'm more of a rod junkie than a reel junkie. I bought all 5 Viento's at a stupid price over this fall, so I couldn't turn them down. They turned out to be great reels, and I ignore the twitchin' bar. Everything but the TD-Z's and IMX were bought this year. I live 5min from Cabelas and know the guys in the bargain cave, and visit it at least once a week to snag closeouts and liquidation items. If a rod has a guide foot that slipped out....I get it for a lot cheaper than I should ($150 Steez's) I have way more rods and reels than I need, and I will generally sell several and start again next year. It keeps me satisfied with buying things, and I don't have to spend a lot of money. I'm really curious about the Skeet Revo right now, and may have to trade a couple of Anniversary Zillions for a pair. Tackle buying and selling is kind of a game to me, and I love it.....
