Humbling look at fishing tackle
« on: February 25, 2008, 10:21:51 AM »
Just when I thought that shooters had a monopoly on expensive geegaws, there's this fishing reel. It's not a joke or a contrivance. It's a real product. At $2400 they're probably not going to sell a lot of them.

I'd be looking for the good old boy method of deep fishing with a motorized reel. Maybe spooling up the winch on a 4x4 with 80# power pro and taking the 4x4 out fishing with me. I don't know what the drag is like on a 4x4 winch, but it'd be worth a try.

It's interesting to see how the motorized reel market has evolved.

Realistically I'm not surprised to see the high prices for these reels because anyone that can afford the fuel to fish the deep water can probably afford just about anything.

I'll be fishing out of Biloxi the last part of May. I plan on having 3 of those.  One for each hand and a back up.  They come equipped with a pretty geisha to wipe the sweat from your brow if hitting the on and off button becomes too strenuous.  Actually, if you can afford one of those, you don't sweat, you perspire.
