I am talking the big 3
rod, reel , line
In many ways a quality line is more important than the reel. Again, I own Islander, Ross, Able, hatch, etc, but all are nice but overkill for trout fishing. Some of mine are over 20 years old too so I hear what you say about still using them.
A lot of my quality gear I buy on sale and only one rod I paid full price. Have to love when Sage comes out with their new models and you can buy the 750 dollar rod for 400....... still crazy to think about but they are quality.
Have not bought a rod or reel for over 7 years now . Buy once cry once!!!!
A line will be bought more than once.
