I love Shimano but I bought a few Bass Pro Extremes combo's because they were cheap and I find myself picking up the Extremes often. They cast good and the Extreme rod fits my hand better than most rods. At 50 or 60 dollars (when bought as a combo) I consider the Extreme reels almost disposable . If it last 4 years thats 15 dollars a year even though I expect them to last longer. I'm not as worried about scratching them, or dropping them so I use them more. I have a nice Curado at the bottom of Reelfoot lake if anyone were to snag it give me an email. Whats the chances of having 5 reels in the boat and the one I kick out is the Curado? Just my luck!

The wind was howling that day and I couldn't hold the boat still to retrieve it in the dingy water but boy did I try.

That hurts!! I know.

In 1995 for our anniversary, I bought my wife a $230 reel, and a $100 rod. We were staying at the lake in a cabin... Barkley lake.

She wanted to go on into the cabin, so I took her back to the dock, and I went back out fishing. Guess who's reel is at the bottom of Barkley?? Yep, she got one use out of it.

I guess now I know what that man overboard is for on my GPS, which by the way, I did not have back then!!
