Fishing Line, Wine and Women
Now, this article should raise some eyebrows and that is exactly my intent.Raise eyebrows, YES, but offend NO.To state the obvious would be to point out that all three of these items share many similarities.1) Age doesn't always mean they need to be replaced, 2) The price of the item may not represent it's quality and 3) Once you find one you like you tend to stick with it.(or it sticks with you).Now to be a little more clear.Fishing line and fishing line replacement has long been the topic during many a trip with me and my fishing buddies.And, to which line we remain loyal, is a topic of great debate.As far as replacement is concerned, my father whom I admire, says."Line must be replaced at all costs when money is on the line".Now, considering line costs money, I do not tend to agree with him all the time.And, since the amount of money he and I have spent on line is directly in-proportional to our winnings, my point may be well taken.To loyalty of line, I stand strong.So far.I remember when I first started fishing, the only line you would find on my reel would be Berkley.Why?
