The early shooter gets the bunny while the early bunny gets the bullet....My motivation to be early has suddenly gone.

Truer words have never been spoken. Same applies to fishing gear. What with some boats You See, fish must be $150 a kg.

I agree, well I have to after seeing a bloke catch numerous fish with lures made from an assortment of cut up "long life OJ juice packs, tin foil and soft drink cans":shock:. He said its more about how it swims and if you are in a good spot... I have to admit he did catch more than the rest of us.. :o ...!
“Accidental Discharges” DO NOT OCCUR !!

An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!

I love my country, but fear my government.

The fish can't tell but the fisher can. Lures may catch fishers but good gear is so much better to fish with when you spend many many hours casting. Also won't get a 6kg smooth as silk drag on a cheap 2500 size reel. Nothing makes me more nervous than a good fish on a dodgy drag.

I used to buy cheap fishing gear but got sick of wearing it out every season or two. Made a complete upgrade and won't look back.
