Thanks for the advice. I totally agree with you...but it's my wallet is the one that's hard to convince! (That... and maybe my wife [
]). With young kids & glasses, braces, etc. the money has other names on it before it gets labeled "fishing reel." That said....big fish + light tackle = AWESOME!!! and one day I'll have the equipment to do it.

I can certainly relate to what you wrote. From about age 14 to at least age 35 I had one fishing rod (fiberglass) and one reel (Garcia-Mitchell 300), one medium sized tackle box, and a four-man rubber raft with paddles. Now, I have no idea how many rods and reels I have, multiple tackle boxes in various sizes, three ice augers (2 Nils and a power auger), ice shed and a boat with many extras. Most of us have been exactly where you are now and many of us for the same reasons. It is all good.
