imschur Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 A few weeks ago I bought a new spinning reel, a Shimano Sustain FE 2500. It was a bit pricey but hey Im worth it. My plan was to use the reel with my favorite G Loomis rod. Well yesterday I get an email from Bass Pro that their 6 pay plan special is ending April 5. I decided just to give the rods a once over online. Well you all know what happened next. It was 2am and I ordered a St Croix Legend Elite for about $330 delivered.

98Z5V Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Same thing happens to me every time I visit Cabela's - ANY Cabela's... <lmao>I start browsing the ammo section with a handbasket, then realize that's stupid, and pick up the dry storage can. Then it's cans. Then it's cans in a push cart...If I ever saw cases upon cases of Mk262, I'd sell my truck in the parking lot, buy all that ammo and backpacks, then start walking home... <laughs> <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacBlade Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 That is some Sweet fishing gear. You might as well get back on there and get yourself one of those Shimano Stella's!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Ha! The sustain was $300 and that was hard to justify. The frigging Stella cost as much as the Bushmaster 308 ORC <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacBlade Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I know! I got one 2 years ago when they were cheaper, they were $10.00 cheaper! <laughs> <lmao> <dontknow> :'( LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWshooter Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 You'all have spent way too much time in the sun, or your smokin' the stink bait again. You spent $300 on a fishin' pole!!! You could have spent that money on something really useful like a digital powder dispenser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepp Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 You'all have spent way too much time in the sun, or your smokin' the stink bait again. You spent $300 on a fishin' pole!!! You could have spent that money on something really useful like a digital powder dispenser.luckly the st chroix factory was directly next to the motel i used to stay in where i deer hunt and now that we stay at a cabin its about 20 min away. i have never had to spent 300$ on a rod due to the scracth and dent bin, but its hard to find a good reel too put on that good rod then LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I gave my G Loomis and a decent Daiwa to a dear friend who's rod and reel had grooves in them from the line. He's a real thrifty guy in his late 60's. He was thrilled to put it mildly. Of course there's no turning back once you get used to the crack of a nice rod and reel. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
