So... What are you guys looking forward to trying this year?

Just what the title says....anything and everything related to Rods, Reels, Terminal Tackle, Plastics, what others are using, what works, what doesn't work, and anything else you want to talk about regarding equipment.

Most folk who are sponsored still pay for their gear. Granted at a lower cost but it isn't free.

Also, in order to have said sponsorship you need to help the company that sponsors you to sell their merchandise.

So let's say a company gives you 20-40% off retail. You need to buy a certain amount of gear from them annually and then spend YOUR time at shows, on-line etc raving about how awesome the stuff is...YOUR fishing time spent plugging their wear!

Unless you KVD or Izumi etc you aren't getting gear for free....

I am truly not a fan of round reels but that right there is the only one I would ever consider purchasing.

Just downright gorgeous.

Please provide a review as to how it performs once you get her on the water.

This is one classy reel. Nothing quite like a round bait-casting reel.

I have added a new Dobyns (Daw-bins, Dough-bins, Dough_Been_ZZZZZ, Dogh-beans, DAWBINS) rod to my collection. :shock:
I am taking possession of a 706CB on Thursday night. 8)
Now, I have to find a reel to go with it. Something cheap as I am running out of $$$ :|
