Money that you regret spending on tackle related items
Power pro. Cheap, crappy, loud, grindy, fades. The company cranks out junk line. Whopper plopper. Overrated that and bass got conditioned to it. Any reel not Shimano or Daiwa. Other brands do not compare....I will not debate this. You want to use a coffee grinder that's your business. I couldn't afford nice stuff when starting out as a kid now that I can it makes the experience much better. Any Fluoro not Sunline Shooter or Seaguar Tatsu or Gold. Nearly all BPS rods. Boardy, stiff and heavy. Great warranty but since it collects dust in the garage it won't be used. Anything made by Googan Squad. Schlocky trash made to sucker kids. From their lures to their rods; worst company at their price point. Everything in the line reeks of knockoff marketing designed to entice inexperienced entry fishermen. No one in their right mind would use a Googan rod over a Loomis or a lunker log over a senko. Any jerkbait not made by Megabass. The hype is real. Had a tough day threw everything in the box with no results tied on a vision out of desperation and caught 3 fish in 10 casts then got it hung and lost it. Nearly cried over losing 25 bucks but ordered 10 more.

Need a new reel, $200 budget.
Daiwa tatula SV TW 2021 version. Can finesse and bang. I've used it in saltwater for snapper and snook as well as bass and peacocks. Please of drag and casts really well. I did upgrade bearings and supertuned the gears myself.

How to get bait monkey off my back?
When I see a new piece of eq or a lure or a line etc....it comes down to making a memory and a future experience that I'll look back on fondly back one day. All it takes is a so so lure to get inhaled by a hungry fish and it's game on. I'm compelled to get each color or variation in that said lure to make sure I get a repeat performance; or so I hope. A memory can last a lifetime. And if a stella makes it that much better than it was worth it.

Soda and bleeding fish
As a holistic healer and herbalist there's a pill formula that has been proven successful with humans and animals to stop bleeding without causing blood clots. It got famous with GI soldiers during the Vietnam war when they noticed all the soldiers carrying something 'more valuable that gold'. Yunnan Bai Yao. A small pinch will help heal any wound faster and stops bleeding almost right away.

Cherish the moments
All the things we worry about don't matter as much as having time for the people who count the most in our lives. Buy the ticket, take the ride, go anyway, celebrate today with someone bc tomorrow is not promised.

Bass Pro Qualifier reels any good?
Shimano and Daiwa are the gold standard and then everything else comes in 3rd.

Is anyone else getting tired of the Squad?
Everyone has to eat. Is it any different than a Cialis commercial with a leacherous gray hair guy leering at his mistress old enough to be his daughter? The rampant douchebaggery of those ass clowns is laughable at best and at worse embarrassingly awful. It's like a collab of Vanilla Ice and Guy Fieri headed to a Creed concert but instead pushing schlocky cheap junk while fishing a stocked lake. Bruh totally lit.....like your dad's visa statement after the Googan splurge.
