Not knockin 'em by any means!
The reel in this picture is a 12 year old Shimano TX 1000 (with 6# braid) I made up for whiting and pompano ;-)
and that's a 26# CPR black drum I'm holding in the other hand!(RETIRED) mostly.

We don't all have stacks like demmackeral! HaHa! Hey man, to each his own. I like nice gear as much as anybody, but I also know it's more about the fisherman than the fishing tackle. A lot of the people on this forum aren't everyday fishermen in the gulf and can't justify spending a wad on gear they are gonna use once or twice a year. Heck, after watching some vacationers fill a cooler with trout and flounder once, I wanted to get rid of my cart full of shimanos and Penns and get some of that Wally World gear they were fishing with! LOL!

And the fish are still much less impressed than the fishermen!(RETIRED) mostly.

If you like the spinfishers you might want to check out the conflict. 2500 weighs a little over 9oz and has enough line capacity with six pound test to handle trout and reds. I have enjoyed the ones I have. Smooth little reels.
