mattyk Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 There is a musky show going on in this area this weekend. So i took a little road trip with the wife. I picked me up a few goodies. But i think i spent my entire fishing allowance for several years, and my wife almost killed me when she found out how much i spent. She was ok with it after i explained to her why i needed another rod and reel. Anways, I picked a St Croix 7.6 M/H rod and Shimano Calcutta 400. Also a few spinner baits,bucktails, a jointed believer and a top raider.
Roy Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Nice haul Matt. You can't go wrong with any of those purchases...it's all quality stuff.
silveradosheriff Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Nice stuff - I just tell the wife that I amoritize it over 20 years....sounds like a good investment then,
mattyk Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Posted February 24, 2007 I figured i would pick some of the bare essentials and i also explained to my wife that this stuff last for a lifetime. I told her how my other nice reels have lasted for well over 15 years, while the crappy stuff lasts a year or two and falls apart. She thought that was a good excuse. But i think i will be working it off at home doing dishes, cooking food, etc.
Roy Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Not to mention the 'other stuff' you'll have to do. :-)
Whopper Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Good stuff Matt! Please tell me you didn't go to Columbus, I was headed there last evening and had a change of plans made for me. Whopper
GbayGiant Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 Very nice purchase, good luck with those dishes.
mattyk Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 i went to the columbus muskie show. They had some cool stuff there. This was my first time to an all muskie show and i really enjoyed it.
JFR Posted February 25, 2007 Report Posted February 25, 2007 Very nice combo, how many pairs of shoes does she own? that should stop any discussions in their tracks.
mattyk Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Posted February 25, 2007 I've tried to use that argument before and I always loose.
muskiesRus Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 When I die I just hope that my wife doesn't sell my Muskie stuff for what I "SAID" I paid for it!!!!
lew Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 You made a good choice on the Premier / Calcutta combo Matt. They work well together and you'll get alot of years of good service from them. Some nice baits there too.
Greencoachdog Posted February 27, 2007 Report Posted February 27, 2007 I'll give you $5 for that jointed Believer right now Mat!
