Coming up, you started with a 202. You gained some pond cred with a 404 and you'd hit the big time with a 33.

First, I don't watch the news. All news is BS and propaganda in my opinion. I know for a fact that if anything important happens, I'll hear it. No doubt. I keep to myself and take care of things at home. Vote and be active in local elections. They may be the only layer of defense you have from the insanity. Support and donate directly to candidates you feel will do a good job. Enjoy your life and freedoms you still have, whether it's hunting, fishing, shooting, or whatever. Support those who support you. Don't support those who don't whenever possible. Vote with your wallet. Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla!

My brother and I, with our open face Mitchells knew we had the world's best fishing reels. When Dad would go on about how great the Zebco 33 was we'd just look at each other and roll our eyes (when he wasn't looking) but we kept our mouths shut. Mathew 22: 37-39

I eventually got another, so I had two old fiberglass rods with a 202 on them. Then my grandad bought me a brand new Johnson Century reel and a decent rod with real cork handles... I was uptown!
