Well, this reminds me of something my wife always says,

"When everything is on sale, the more you spend, the more you save!"

That's the spirit!

My wife says that too!

Funny how the definition of "save" has changed over the generations. According to my parents who are in their mid-70s, "saving" means  the money ends up in a "savings" account (hence the name). If you walk out of a store with less money than when you entered, that's called "spending".

I can only speak for myself, but when I "save" lots of money on fishing equipment, it usually means that I'm "spending" moolah on crap that I don't really need and may never use.

Heck, I've got lures in my tackle box that are 5+ years old and have never touched water... :-/

Yeah, I know...I haven't ever used 75% of my lures. My favorite for

"collecting" are jekbaits, but I only fish three or four. I always test

them in my pool when I buy them, but otherwise most have never

been wet!

Anybody remember the Cabela 's TDZ sale ?

I purchased 4 reels, spent 800 dollars .....but "saved" 600 dollars since the regular TDZ price was $350.

BaitMonkey logic.  ;)

I think the baitmonkey has us all brain washed to beleive "sale" is saving money.

When I see SALE I run for cover because I know the baitgorilla is on his way!

As long as it works for you and you enjoy using it, then that is all that matters.

Value is determined only by the end user.

Otherwise, half the products we all use would not exist.

Close enough my friend, 2 are still NIB, also got a Scorpion 1000 Mg NIB, a Metanium XT NIB, a Pixy NIB.  ::D

Nothing is going to deter me from getting some of them new Curados and very probably an Aldebaran Mg, been thinking seriously about the Zillion, I 'm a sucker for anything that has written SPECIAL EDITION on it.  ;D
