Support Iceshanty... Get some great gear and forum goodies... Join The Iceshanty Hardwater Militia
So far I've gotten a 2 Mag's custom rods, A Garmin 64st, a bunch of Gamakatsu tackle boxes, Milwaukee 2804 drill, a couple sets of base layers, Muck Arctic Pro's, 2 new Genz boxes for the flashers, Amped battery, a bunch of lipless cranks and spoons, a bunch of tip-up rigging stuff, and a Plano sportsman's trunk to store it all in and help haul it around. I'm currently waiting on a Pistol bit, and a pair of Fish Monkey gloves to arrive and as soon as the Otter Lodge hubs are in stores I plan on getting one of those. I put a Clam cargo net and a sled organizer on the trunk and plan on adding a rod holder and a couple of other things to it.
Lots of articles on people stressed out due to pandemic. Psychologists suggest doing things that promote inner peace. If you are stressed out and buying some gear makes you feel better, you are making progress. Don’t feel guilt. That will only cause a relapse. Buy some more.
Curious on what reel you went with?
As long as you can afford it and are not going into debt. Most of the time when people therapy shop it is only temporary relief when they make the purchase, then they get down again when they realize the probably didn't need it and have to pay off their credit card.
How do you think that shimano soare will compare to the new shimano vanford?? Or how does the soare compare to the stradic c4?
Could you send a link on where you bought that reel?
