Was hoping to get my master catalog today but not to be. The wife finally gave me the ok to start replacing some of my gear that was stolen last fall. 5 rod and reel combos and a soft side tackle box that thankfully had 1 tray of plastic lizards and worms and weights and hooks. 1 tray of assorted bass jigs and one tray the most expensive of the 3 a tray of stickbaits from smithwicks, bombers and rapalas. my biggest problem is that i'm right handed but reel left handed so all my baicast reels are lh and hard to come by in the stores i've actually ordered all mine or found some on e bay. and ebay doesn't have many in my price range. (funny how a wife and 4 kids effect price range now days) so hopefully i can get 2 combos maybe 3 and a new soft side and a few lures. And last but not least now that she also said i get the next major purchase as we just bought her a new van. which is a new boat but by that time i'll need a new truck to pull it. lol then i'll be able to compete with youall.

Sounds like a good plan. Sorry to hear about the gear disappearing, I know that would suck. I even have a car alarm in my boat, for when it is on the trailer in my yard. I don't really leave anything in it, but had a car alarm laying around and figured, "why not" Besides I fish a lot and wouldn't want any trouble there.
I know the money thing, have three kids and an EX. That's way more expensive than a spouse.. They get all the major purchases until Child Support ends. At which time I am buying a new truck, new boat, motor and trailer and a better home. But that's 4 years and about a month. But who's counting. Afterall $1380 a month net will buy a lot of boat. And a bit of upgrades to the gear too.
We would be glad to have you join us and I am sure you will have a lot of fun. You can stop by and meet everyone anytime.
