[cool][blue][size 1]NUFF SAID. If you can get what you want and need at a better price, that's a NO BRAINER.[/size][/blue]
[#0000ff][size 1]I am sure that what DryRod was referring to is the tendency on some of the boards to promote a cheap price rather than quality and long-lasting workmanship. We see this all the time in some elements of our tubing game. That is especially true when it comes to waders. You can buy a cheap pair, and have to keep patching them over a one to two year period, before they really fall apart. Or, you can pay more for good waders, and use them for years without any problems.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]One of the areas of buying cheap that really gets me going is in buying line. Some guys buy the cheapest line they can find and then swear at it when they keep breaking off all the large fish they hook. False economy to save a couple of bucks on something as important as the vital link between you and the fish.[/size][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][size 1]Coming from a relatively poor family, I have always tried to be a frugal shopper myself. But, I learned a long time ago that GOOD THINGS ARE SELDOM CHEAP...AND CHEAP THINGS ARE SELDOM GOOD. You usually spend a fair amount in time, money and other resources even for a short range fishing trip. Why risk the total experience simply to save a dollar or two on vital components of the fishing experience. [/size][/#0000ff]
