Fishing brands you stand by?

[Deleted member 38069]

At the risk of sounding like a complete snob:
Sage rods.
Lamson and Abel reels.
Simms waders and boots.
I can’t tie to save my life and I like Montana Fly Company patterns.

All that fancy stuff is still a hell of a lot cheaper than a walleye boat.

The boat is merely a Y-intercept with a medium slope.

Depends on what im fishing for... for lakes around home, I've had great luck with Okuma and Pflueger reels. My kids break too many rods to spend much more on anything but Scheels rebranded rods. Baits are typically Rapala or homemade bottom bouncers and spinners.

When I'm fishing great lakes salmon and trout, then I'm using a lot of Salmon Candy flasher/flies, Okuma rods/reels, and Cannon downriggers. Moonshine, Yeck, and Pro King for spoons. I'm planning on experimenting with more stickbaits this year.

Even with the finest tackle money can buy, fishing is relatively cheap until you throw a motor in the mix.

I call Bull Chit! Your crocs would divorce your sorry arse if you wore some tramp-ish mistresses on your feet!

I can't for the life of me figure out why every Claw drinker in Montana has this on the back of their window and decked in the Salt Life gear.

There isn't a God damn ocean for almost 1200 miles..... and more like 2k for some warm water. Wtf.

That was 100% facetious on my part! While stationed in Florida, I saw those stickers all the time! I feel your pain/confusion.
