Broke Guy Needs the Perfect 2 Combos

Trust me, I understand.  Most of my original gear came from flea markets, or clearance.  Only thing I spent some serious cash on was my BB1NG, which was paid for by my paper route.  I'm hoping that spending some money on a couple of good quality combos, I'll get a solid 10 years from them.  If it makes you feel better, I moved to Florida in 1997, and all my gear is from before I moved!

Yes, I recognize the "need" for quality gear. Now that I'm able to afford it (almost too old to enjoy) I'll spend for what I want. But then I fish from a kayak, so I'm not spending big bucks on the boat. Yes, you should get a good decade of use from those.
