With so many awesome pieces of gear out there nowadays, it's hard not to get stoked and feel the pinch of the gear monkey when you poke around places like tacklewarehouse.com or even your local Gander/Cabela's/Dick's. From rods to reels to baits and lines, boats to fishfinders... It never stops getting better it seems!
So what are you looking at right now and planning on picking up at some point or maybe just dreaming about? C'mon it's healthy to get it out there.
For me currently it's got to be thus:
-7'2" MH 13 Fishing Omen Green casting rod w/ a Lew's Tournament MG speed spool (Left handed) casting reel in a 7.1:1 ratio. That way I can have one really nice super sensitive spin setup and one more burly high speed casting setup for cranking and frogs without breaking the bank on the latter.

-I would also love to (but doubt I'll be able to afford anytime soon) upgrade my kayak to a Ride 115X. It's amazingly well thought out and has a far better seat and seating position for fishing than my current sit-in. You can also stand up AND have a full sized cooler onboard and that is fucking awesome. The console also allows a super clean fishfinder install unlike anything else on the market. I want one of these things so damn bad I can taste it. Mmmmmmmm... Plasticky!
thar she blows!
