So basically what you and the story are telling us is to tell people who ask about: fluorocarbon, reels, rods, baits, boats, etc.....is that we are supposed to tell them to buy the cheapest thing possible? I and others buy overpriced fishing junk because we WANT to, nobody is forcing us to spend our money on it and I don't think I'm better (or a snob) because I might spend more on equipment than some others might. You guys that buy the cheaper stuff are the ones thinking that I'm trying to be a snob. I just want nice stuff because I work my rear off to have the right to buy what I want.
