@TNReb show me your definition of a high-end fishing setup because I guarantee you mine and yours are two very different things my friend I have worked for everything that I have and I've lost everything I have and had to work for it over again multiple times in my 28 years of life fishing is how I get my peace it's how I relieve stress it's how I manage my anger because that comment you just made my friend honestly if you were in front of me it would have got you punched square in the nose and possibly sent to the hospital I'm not trying to be rude or anything but dude if you can't help your input isn't needed the most important thing I've learned in my time as a fisherman is how to use my gear I guarantee you with you using the most expensive and me using the cheapest could beat you I could embarrass you horribly my friend do you know why? Because I am one with the fish I am one with mother nature and most importantly I know how to tire the fish out fishing has been one of my gifts for many many years and I won't dare let someone like you ever take that away from me you are right about one thing I'm going through a lot of s*** but guess what... All I need a good rod and reel and a few ice cold beers to drink away the noise of pests like you buzzing around me while I'm trying to fish in peace! All I need are the simple things in life. You see this cheap Berkley setup?? Something like this is more than powerful enough for anything I want to catch
