Submitted by Faulkner Family on Sun, 2009-11-15 11:54

not greedy
just covering as many bases as I can!
If I had to supply my own game gear, then I could easily add another 3 or 4 outfits to that list.

sounds like there is a
sounds like there is a serious problem with some fishos, you can go and buy new stuff but cant see yourself getting rid of the old, they do become a part of you when you use them all the time and you never know when you might want to pick one of the oldies again

combo's!
Yeh spot on Colin, i like having the right gear to suit the fish & my style of fishing. Targetting all species also means many outfits needed but enjoyable to have & use that's for sure!

How much gear
On last count 53 rods and 48 reels, most of the rods custom built by geraldton sports. Do a wide range of fishing that is my excuse anyway. Havent let my wife in the shed for a few years.
