When I began really becoming interested in fishing, I had to borrow and beg for equipment. As time went I graduated from having a tackle box, to not having any type of tackle box, or bag, at least not a single one that can handle all my gear.
I have been Ice fishing for 6 years or so, again I would bum the gear I needed. Then I bought my first jigging rod, and then my own :tipup:s. Very recently I got my own auger. Most recently I had to buy my own sled
Very proud moment!!
