I wish that is what the monkey got me for. So far I got the Steez EX100XS, T3 Air, SS SV and last but not least a Lin 10C L all within the last 2 months. Now I just discovered the Gant Craft Dead Sword. Thank God that this rod is very hard to find! But I'm looking. ](*,)

:evil22:
I received my MB Lin 10C L this week from MB Outlet. They had it listed at 64,800 yen but when I sent an inquiry to purchase it they dropped the price to 60,000 yen and it was shipped to me with the box (in mint condition) and all paperwork. What a score. :big grin:
But that monkey is on my back again cause I've decided that the rod I wanted to put it on is not up to the baits I want to use it for. First I discovered the Gan Craft Dead Sword but after reading a review on one of their other rods it appears that they may have some quality control issues. So searched more and now I want the SRD! D@MN MONKEY! ! ! :crying:

I've been taking some heat from the monkey as of late... :lol:

Phase 3 Eiger Northwall, X7 Diablo Fast Move, BJ Super Red Demon, Aldebaran, Mentanium and apparently, I am looking at a Lin Black Jungle and a Diawa Z2020 for the SRD now. :shock: :lol:

Normally, that would be a years' worth of rod/reel purchases, but that is the last month. :evil22:

Just found out that the Black Jungle has some updated rods coming out in July.

Time to blow out of some old tackle I don't use anymore... :mrgreen:

I feel your pain. I thought I had code: "Monkey Down!" established, but chaos erupted and now I am waiting on my 2nd new CQ. I won't mention the rods... :oops:

If so that's ok. They're coming out with a new and improved one shortly. Enjoy it. Sometimes the originals are the best.

There is no cure. I've left and come back several times in the course of 15 years. Thankfully I've had the hindsight to hang onto my gear, and add more as the time goes on.

I wasn't so lucky. Gave up fishing for 13 years and picked it up back on 2011. I kept very little of my equipment and even lost a bunch of reels from moving. Pretty much had to start over. Boy have things have changed over the years. At the time I quit BPS was the place to go but not anymore. :shock:

JDM here I come but I'm done for this year. Got to recoup from all the money I spent this year. :crying:
