Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted October 16, 2007 Super User Posted October 16, 2007 Although I enjoy the "kid in a candy store" feeling when I go to BPS, Gander Mountain, or Cabelas. There is nothing like feeling the fish pick up your bait, setting the hook, and fighting it back to the boat or shore. Falcon Quote
Triton9 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 i love to buy it, but using it is sooo much better ;D Quote
eastkybass Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 I would have to say using it. Look at it and buying it is great but no point in buying if you aren't using. Quote
Branuss04 Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I hate to admit it (And will never admit this to my g/f), but I do enjoy buying/shopping for fishing stuff a little more than I do using it. This is probably because I am semi new to bass fishing, and there is so much stuff I do not have.... YET Quote
Joel W Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 In season I rather use 'em the shop for them. But come the dead of winter, I love nothing more then shopping online or taking a day trip to Cabela's or BPS and buying till I drop. Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 If I didn't enjjoy fishing so much I don't think I'd have the desire to go shop / collect equipment. To me catching fish is the puzzle. What can I do to catch more? What can I try? Buying gear is just a piece of the overall puzzle. It is def a fun piece of the puzzle, maybe a little too fun on occasion! LOL Quote
Bass Hammer Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 I shop a lot....but to me tackle is a tool. So even when I'm buying I'm thinking about using it. I'd rather fish. Quote
Bass Smacker Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Bait monky be dambed! I'm going fishing! Any one seen my wallet. HEY YOU PUT THAT DOWN. look like i'm going to the bait store Quote
rondef Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Although I do enjoy buying fishing tackle and gear, I like fishing with it more. I guess it goes back to the being one with nature thing and being in peaceful surroundings. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted October 19, 2007 Super User Posted October 19, 2007 I hate shopping. I hate even more hidding some of the stuff from my wife. She use to count my rods, but she finally gave up. Quote
rondef Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 fishfordollars, I hear you, I hate hiding the purchases from the wife too. I try to limit my purchases now so I don't have to hide them from her. Quote
bassmaster8100 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I really enjoy shopping for fishing equipment, but I enjoy using it a whole lot more. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 19, 2007 Super User Posted October 19, 2007 Both! Part of the excitement for me is buying the latest lure, rode, reel, etc. When I actually get to use it and land a fish on it, completes the circle. Quote
morieeel Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Definitely fishing since my shopping consist of cheap line and the same ole grape twirly tail worm. ;D Quote
skillet Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Definitely useing! Too me, most shopping is like a search and destroy mission: You know your objective. You get in, complete your objective, and get out with as few casualties as possible ... As Ever, skillet Quote
Evan Pease Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Well for me, baits look a lot better than they actually work. I buy a ton of THE bait and have more fun catching than wasting $ on things I may not get a single bite on. Quote
Cousin Eddie Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 It goes like this for me: #1 Catching fish, #2 Using quality equipment (casting/ retrieving), #3 Researching new tackle to buy, #4 Buying new stuff Quote
