If you were restricted to just one popping outfit (god forbid)
What would it be?
This can be something you already own or something dreams are made of  :P

I'll start it off with my latest greatest ;D

no, to think I'd be limited to one outfit is too scary to contemplate!  :D

That is a nightmarish thought :o :o

Ripple fisher GT78 Flex with Stella SW18000HG loaded with Varivas GTmax PE8 and 1 extra spool of PE10 ;) :D (still 1 outfit right)

A good thing this is just a hypothetical exercise though ;)

Set the ray to GeeT

Aaron was being sensible - the Black Mafia would break a normal man in half and that's not even getting to that ridiculous Fire Vortex. The rating on the Fire Vortex should be PE20!

Brandon,

Yep...I wanted something sensible!
The Black Diamond has as much poke as the SP78UHL though has a bit more mid flex so it feels very nice when loaded up....the Black Mafia & Fire 'Spine Screamer' Vortex is too much for my battered, spine-fused back!

Bun,
I had a cold shower...all is good!

I am waiting to hear a report of some poor unsuspecting GT fisherman who gets broken in half by one of those Patriot PE12 rods.
It won't be Gordon - he can actualy hold on to one. It'll be some normal person.
If it swims; I want to catch it!

it'll never be the last! I remember when the first Shimano Calcutta baitcaster came out and I thought I'd never want or need another baitcaster. Well, that love affair lasted as long as it too Shimano to release the Conquest   ::)

My latest and hopefully my last  ;D
