Funny how I see much of the angling public freak at some of the prices for equipment.


Nothing funny when your on a budget.

Don't disagree with your points about getting what you pay for. I am hard on fishing gear and get the best I can with what I have. My problem at the moment is I'm due for new waders, rain coat and wading boots. I want, and hope to go, top end but I don't have a spare $1,000 to shell out on a whim for all that stuff.

No discounts on this end.......just reality.
