To whore or not to whore

I came across a very interesting article today, and it hit a few notes.

Check it out.

Many many years ago when I started jigging (fishing method, in case you don't know), I was using a PE3 rod at Pekan, with a Shimano Navi 8000. My line was 40lbs. Now, I go to Pekan with a PE1 rod with my Shimano Stella C3000, with 12lb line.

And it took me 4 to 5 years, countless fishing trips to get there. Not to mention having to land the fishes to get the experience.

Experience gives you confidence. It makes you more and more confident trip after trip. As your confidence grow, your gears become lighter. But... It didn't get lesser. In fact, mine got more...


Because we became more specialized. We knew exactly what we wanted to catch, how we gonna catch them and where and when. And the different target at different location and depth and time potentially means an entirely different setup!!


I WAS a tackle whore.


So how will it be for running? Will I be a running whore? Or am I already one? So I'm a running whore in denial?

Only time will tell...

Until next time, run if you can.
