Comment on Seriously? A $750 Spinning Reel? by Jared of Quad Survival

I wouldn’t pay more than $130 for a pole and reel combo let alone just a reel. I’m pretty rough on my equipment though as I use it a lot. I wouldn’t mind a used Scotty Cameron putter if I somehow struck it rich haha. Those things are so expensive.

I bet I could get it $750 worth of tangled up if given the chance.

Ice fishing is fun but I’m ready for open water.

That’s too bad, Norton! Maybe next year.

Michelle, I assume your situation is why some people find tremendous deals at garage sales. Just sayin’

I can’t comment on fishing, but from a golf side (my husband is an avid golfer) not only do I have a clue about the costs of items that suddenly arrive in our home, but I also know their usefulness. For example, a Scotty Cameron putter sits dormant right now b/c it just isn’t working for him. That putter is the equivalent to your spinner above. Just. Sitting. There.

I was out there last year, but couldn’t get out there this year. Bummer to have missed you.

Very possibly the most useful piece of knowledge from SHOT – at least now that I’ve started investing in high end knives.

Great write-up Jim. The bad news is now we have to wait another whole year for another fun SHOT Show!

It was certainly great to see you at SHOT and I agree with you 100%, the networking you get to do both on the show floor and off the show floor is absolutely invaluable if your going to be in this industry.

I have to recommend Canaletto in the Venetian Hotel…Best Bread in Vegas served with Italian dishes and Steaks.

And Aureole in Mandalay Bay…Best Fun watching people on high wires picking wine from cellars that are built into the walls of the restaurant.
