Heya!

 

A Canadian that's new to all of this stuff...I'm like a kid in a candy store! Grew up fishing with my dad using his spinning and fly gear. I don't remember the brands other than Fenwick rods and Shimano reels 🤷🏽

 

Never fished again leaving for uni until 4yrs ago when Gramps got the kids and sons in law basic fishing gear as it's the general evolution of doing things at the family cottage as the little ones grow.

 

Fast forward to now and I'm building my rod reel set ready for fall bass, accidental pike and losing alot of lures 🤣

 

Thanks for reading 🤪

    Hi from the Sunshine State of Florida.

    Hahaha the “rabbit hole”…. “Do I take the red pill or blue pill”.

    Hello from Kingston, Ontario.  
     

    The rabbit hole is indeed deep… and expensive. 😬😆

    Thx for the welcome everyone 😁

     

    I've fallen down many rabbit holes from vintage flex nib fountain pens, straight razors, wet shaving, Japanese whetstones (JNats), reef and planted aquariums...

     

    Well...I'm new to baitcasters and saved for a USDM Zillion and a Megabass Triza Dragoon that should cover many techniques as I will be travelling alot for work this year to the next.

     

    Discovered JDM stuff and got a JDM Steez A2 $20 cheaper than a USDM Zillion. I'm quite mechanically inclined so I don't need the reel warranty.

     

    Just need 2-3 more rods and reels for home...just have to tell "The Boss" something to not rouse suspicion but there are worse things to spend $ on 😜. I know I'll be rolling in my grave when my stuff gets sold off/given away..."Oh, he said he paid $20" 😬

     

    Looking forward to the wealth of knowledge from all of you and laughs from my mistakes going forth.

    Howdy from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Texas Riggin' and Splitshot Riggin' are my current favorite techniques. I love feeling that nibble.

    You have some of the greatest fishing in the world...if you have a four-wheel drive vehicle and are willing to scratch it and dirty it driving down logging roads.
