I personally have never spent a whole lot on rods and reels. The most ever was under $100 for the pair. Been saltwater fishing for the past thirty years and usually it takes a five to six years for the salt to take its toll. I take care of them and clean them but redfish can really put a strain on your gear. Same thing when I fished fresh water. Maybe one day I’ll splurge just for the fun of it. 👍👍👍

My android is 4G capable, but I rarely see the 4G indicator lit up,so the signal isn't there. Probably more when I'm in a city.

Just bought a new Honda Odyssey and it has its own WiFi. It’s insane what’s in it. I could never work on this thing.

That was the idea behind my original post. People saying you get what you pay for. But if something is way overpriced what is the real value?

If you can boat a fish with a reasonably priced setup then I believe it’s the way to go. If one can afford it then go for it. My trout redfish and flounder will taste just as good.

You may have a point there. Lol. It’s actually the best digital phone I’ve ever had. The old analog phone I had was better than the iPhone. Technology sometimes is actually regressive. Wait until the folks who are buying electric cars find out how much it’s gonna cost to change and dispose of that battery pack.

Yeah and how many will be sitting on the side of the road because they ran out of juice...🤷‍♂️🐟on

Thank you FourchonLa, I wish you and your family a very happy and blessed Easter.

I saw those reels when they first came out. Asking price was a little rich for something that hadn’t earned a solid reputation yet

I generally will wait a few years on a new launch for the manufacturer to iron the bugs out . Even with proven designs.
This is why I didn’t buy a Shimano Curado DC until this year.

That is what I was thinking. It was introduced a short time ago [18 months?] and then the price just dropped sharply. $50.00 less on sale would be a nice discount. But to be $200.00 less is a head scratcher in my opinion.

My old Samsung J727 V works fine. So does my old Asus Z8 tablet, most of the time LOL:-)

Howdy Fred. I'm coming up in the world. My old Samsung tablet got to having issues so i upgraded to the T727 V tablet in January. It worked OK but I set it on the roof of my mother's SUV a few days ago & drove off. There went my tablet. The insurance sent me a replacement last Wednesday. I took it to the Verizon office on Thursday & the folks there activated it for me. I left the store a happy camper. I stepped off the curb in front of the store, tripped & fell hard. I was buggered up pretty good but the brand new unused tablet was shattered & destroyed. With help from the Verizon folks who watched me bite the dust I got another new tablet a couple days later. My soreness & bruises are about gone along with $200 in deductibles. I'm still using my old Samsung android phone.

That's usually the way it works Coon, the older ones survive everything, but as soon as you get a new one, something happens!. The wife dropped her old phone down the cellar stairs, 10 steps down to concrete. Not a scratch. She got a new phone a couple months ago,and after a week, dropped it on the hardwood bedroom floor and cracked the screen. That's kinda why I like the old ones, they're luckier.LOL.
