Was at bass pro shop this afternoon [View all]

My wife needed to go get some items at the mall. Anyway I love to fish freshwater, trout bass crappies Muskie walleyes. I was looking at the spinning reels. Wow I did not buy anything but some of the prices I saw a reel today prices insane 450$ For shimano . I know shimano makes quality but to this day. I still use penn spincast reels made in Philadelphia.

I’m ultralight kind of fishing and I like shimano I bought our sons shimano ultralight for trout and panfish and we even have used them To go after largemouth bass. And we use medium spinning reels muskies walleyes channel cats. But I’m really hard on gear we wade and how many times have we got reels wet.

I was just amazed at the pricing on higher end reels. My wife met me and I pointed out the price on the 450$ reel. She knows when it comes to gear I’m practical. In the car I told her I wonder how many husbands bought one of those. And ended up sleeping on the couch with it.
