Weekend warrior doctors and lawyers wanting the “best” of the best so they can subtle brag to their friends about the cost. My $15 vise has produced some incredible flies that catch just as many as that elitist status symbol.What makes it cost so much?
I've said many times, over the years, that I can catch as many fish with my $5 garage sale fishing pole--as a guy who spends $1,000 on one!My $15 vise has produced some incredible flies that catch just as many as that elitist status symbol.
Please do explain, I’m curious as to your reasoning?Tons of variables in your statement TD. Who's garage, type of fishery, skill level of the guy with the 1k rod, etc.
In general I'd say no to your claim, even if you moved the threshold to $200.
Sure. Try catching albacore on an average $5 garage sale rod.Please do explain, I’m curious as to your reasoning?
Actually, when I was crab fishing out of Trinidad commercially, a fellow crab fisherman took me out for albacore. We used his grandfathers fiberglass rods from the ‘60s. My rod was missing an eye and all the rods had duct tape somewhere on them. We killed it that day!!Sure. Try catching albacore on an average $5 garage sale rod.
Did you look at the variables I suggested?
What makes it cost so much?
You're not going to find tuna sticks for $5 at a GS no matter the vintage.The only variable that truely matters is how much time you spend on the water learning.
and it's used. I wonder how much they would ask for a new one.To quote Mr. Barone's old man..."HOLY CRAP!"
