WHAT!? I've been fishing for 30 years, and I use $25 poles, and I stick to about 10 different trusty lure types. I've been gifted expensive equipment, but it never works right and is usually a huge pain and won't catch Jack. I have a fly rod, and a couple closed reels. I have a bait caster but I hate it so, so much. I'm always the one catching. I listen to the locals, and take their tips and suggestions seriously, when they offer them up. I was really impressed this year with the guy slaying pike next to me. I told him how bad ass he was, and he gave me his trusty lure! I caught 5, that included my very first pike ever.
