[QUOTE="azekologi, post: 233837, member: 2311"] I'd have to say "yes", but they're there's an "*" by my yes vote. :wink: I've had several chances to talk to one of the local Bass Pro Shop's Pros, Matt Shura [url]https://www.mattshura.com/[/url], as I've taken a couple of free seminars he's hosted at BPS and he lives right behind my in-laws (which is kinda cool). We've talked shop, mostly rods & reels, but a little bit about tackle, lures, and such, and I've made some purchasing decisions based on his insight. I like his input as he's not all about plugging his sponsors; he gives real-world, non-Pro, tackle advice for people who don't get handed a bunch of (expensive) free stuff to 'try out'. Some of it's because I don't have a lot of knowledge about this 'bass addiction' that everyone seems to have :roll: as I'm primarily a trout fisherman 8). I'm sure as I get more into the bass thing that ya'll are hooked on (pun intended), I'll follow more pro advice, but it's hard indulge on pro-grear, in pro-quantity, on a working-man's budget. That said, I take pro-advice on hardware (rods, reels, etc.), wanting to get good stuff that lasts, but follow the lake angler with a full stringer when it comes to getting lures and such. [/QUOTE]
