How many $600 -$700 rods do you own?

[DShock]

Well lemme see. If ya took all my stuff and put it in a pile, shook out my vest for possible change, included the three flies in my hat, the TOTAL cost ( not value) would possibly reach as high as $500. I tend to lean in favor of where I fish rather than what I fish with. I might be understating the cost a bit but my point is that I'm just not into high end stuff. And ,patting myself on the back, it's not because I can't afford it, I simply have other priorities.

PS: Where I fish exclusively is in the good ole USA

"I simply have other priorities'"

BUZZ


I have over 40 rods, most antique, Bamboo and Wood, some glass, even somehardware chuckers that I just can't throw out but I only fish two, one is a St Croix bought for 135CDN, the other my wonderful wife bought when I broke my wrist and could not cast my Berkly Cherry Wood glass rod, (35CDN) and she will not tell me how much she paid....

Do I believe anybody NEEDS a 6-700$ rod NO.....

It is not the beauty of the rod we fish for it is the overall beauty of the whole thing. A nice rod adds to that beauty of course. Damn I am off on a tangent again SORRY, Long Damn day at work....

I've seen longer threads on other boards but this one has more life than any I can remember at FAOL.
I started this thread then using the name Buzz.

I read 2-3 pages when it first started then I went thru a phase where I never read it...now I just shake my head.

Jerry,
I WAS wondering what the 'BUZZ' was about!

Hey Doug,
I never thought anyone would see through my outwardly ( at least) noble sounding post. YES, I have to admit, my priorities are GIRLS. I've had this problem since............................actually it's not a problem at all now , is it??

Mark,
I'm glad your not mad at me! I just came back to erase what I said, which isn't the first time!
I was just teasing you! I'm with you on this subject. I have noticed your response before.

Girls are much more important than some fishin rod!

What you should all be worried about is...... someday your spouse will sell your fishing rods for what you told her/him you paid for them.........

My interpretation of that is the SetUp; FINAL Garage Sale (after U bite the Dust!) "HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT FOR THOSE FISHIN' RODS???" Answer; "THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF MY DEAD HUSBAND'S O L D! FISHING RODS, SO I'LL TAKE 10 BUCKS!"

That is scary, some of my rods are over two hundred years old.......

Think I may add a no sell clause to our marriage vows

Let's end this post with this...Are you happy with your rod(s), REGARDLESS of cost??
I AM!!
