I just couldn't help myself... got a couple of 80 Lbs bent butts, reels covers and bits and bobs... just to start the new year...

Feeling somehow relieved, but still have some itches here and there....

That wouldn't have anything to do with the recent bumper crop of marlin off Maputo would it?  w;k

10 000 FA with 16K spool and power handle

Thought I was cured :toppie: , haven't bought tackle in just over two years now :shk , except the odd, pack of lures, hooks etc. Then yesterday i had a relapse :blush: :blush: :blush: , bought a pitching rod I needed it!!!!!! and I was doing so good...... well sort of, as the money I saved from not buying tackle for all these many years, went into me building my CNC machine (to cut Molds, so it's fishing related :blush: ) maybe I should have bought some rods and reels rather  :hnthnt:  Could've have bought a few pieces with the 50K i've spent on the machine :nobs: ....... never realised i had a problem, purely because it always seemed that there is just no other way..................... :shk
When I die, will somebody please dress up as the Grim Reaper and attend, don't need to do or say anything, just stand there!
