Hey guys I need help convincing my dad that he need to get some real fishing gear for gts.
He's oldschool and thinks his 8000 pen will do the job and that $450 for the gt special is to much! Is there any vids or books that I can get him onto?

No better way than getting your own quality gear, finding some Gees and watch him get served!

At least you might stand a better chance  8)

Maybe just agree with him, get his gear together, a few dumbells and get him to go out chasing them with you. If the strike doesnt get him in the subsequent battle and likely pasting will. That first encounter with a surface crashing gee usually starts most people down the slippery slope of acquiring gt capable gear. If it doesnt then it will at least help justify you saving your own money for gear or asking for it for birthdays etc. Shopping around for decent 2nd hand gear can also help ease the pain.
