Pin rod #3 tomorrow..
Was debating on a new Mykiss pin reel...but got two now and can't fish um both so went with something I really needed....
a littler weight pin rod...
only one gear rod and reel...
3 fly rods, 4-6-9 wts..
4 fly reels, 4-6 (2) - 9
a few extra spools...
too many vests etc.
could use a back up pair of waders, have some hodgmans but they leak..
couple pairs of wading boots..
Shoot I don't have near the stuff you guys got...I'm a tadpol in a pool of sharks..

I just need one of your pimp waders with the total bling!  Then I would have enough.

Except, I'm planning to get a Campbell pin this summer and then I need a matching rod.  Also, got to get another rod for the Okuma pin I haven't sold yet after I upgrade the bearings on it.  And, I think it's time to replace the baitcaster with a different one...maybe a Luna or something...and I need a new rod as well.....


Okay, it's never enough! ;D

Well, I have 3 drift rods, 4 level winds, 4 fly reels, 2 fly rods, 4 fly lines, 1 spin casting combo.  That is it for the actual gear.  I have 1 vest that is always way to heavy!! ::), 2 pairs of waders, breathable and neo.  2 Pairs of wading boots and 2 fishing jackets.

But, I will have a sturgeon set up coming hopefully and a fishcat u-boat!!  Just have to sell a couple things!! ;D

I have nothing compared to some on here...they are all just sitting back not saying anything because they are trolls and don't want anyone disturbing their hordes of goods....One guy I know has FOUR Mcdonald Pin reels...oh I can't even go there with the stuff he has...Quite a few guys, and Nicole..Please that gurls an outfitter....Just takes WORKING allot of hours and not pissing your money down someone elses drain..and you'll be there soon enough..
