Shore tackle???

#1 Post by theshoreking »

Ok, must of us have a heap of tackle, some of which has never seen a beach. SO, why do we keep buyin more and more??? Is it the power of marketing? For my part, I think I've just started collecting the stuff, rather than buyin because I know I will use the gear.

thank goodness I'm not the only one, exactly the same here. Thinking of open shop soon or at least start some sort of local tackle museum. Might even be in for grants then :lol: :lol: :lol:

How else are we going to restart the economy if we don't buy stuff? Government mandate.

Now - anyone know when the sale at Southside Angling is on? I've my eye on a couple of swivels...
