And I bet I am not catching any more fish  but dog gone I am having fun. Went from hating bait casters to cant live without em

had to double up

I prefer to think of it as saving money..........not buying things that don't need or don't work,,,,,,and it is cheaper than therapy 

which reel do you like the best?

 

Wow! Looks like your bait monkey slapped you hard on both cheeks! ?

He kicked my butt

You definitely have sweet looking set ups. It's so easy to blame our fellow anglers here. In to his bait monkey after viewing the pics in this thread: "Down boy!!! Put my wallet down!  Get back in your cage and rattle it all you want. I am not going to buy anything new." ?

The Tatulas and the Shimanos ,That little 70 Shimano and the Tatula CT are the cats butt

But the SV TW is a great reel

How do you like your dobyns frog rod?

David I had nothing to do with this addiction of yours. That is my story and I am sticking to it!  BUT you did put a nice arsenal together brother!

Well I have only caught 2 fish on it like to lost the rod on the 2nd one still had the plastic on the handle. but I like it 2 hits and 2 hook sets

Very nice David.    Glad I don't know how to download pics from my phone. 

 

EDIT:  The forum that has cost me the most money is that bass boat one.  Have bought the majority of my rods and reels from it.  I have been having success muffling the Bait Monkey.  Have passed on several reel deals.  Haven't shut him up entirely as I recently let him talk me into a Tat SV TWS.  I blame it on being late at night and I was in a weakened state.

Ahh....... The boat monkey, a first cousin to the bait monkey, lol
