What's the difference between this line and a $60. line?
Bruce, don't get me wrong, but my fuzzy math skills says that the difference would be $30.
Bargain lines or even closeouts offer a real potential value. Have you cast that particular rod with the line? Its your brother for crying out loud, do you think he'll even notice the difference? What if he doesn't catch the bug? You initial investment on a shared passion will not break the bank if he decides it is not for him by going cheap on him. Gawd, let him upgrade if he enjoys the sport.
When my kid was excited about flyfishing, I went out and purchased a complete setup, waders, boots, float tube, etc. After a couple of week long trips, he decides it is not for him. When I asked him why, he explained flyfishing costs too much. What?!?!? He had not sunk a single dime into the sport and now he is telling me is costs too much? I suppose that I should have never tutored him in the fine art of fuzzy math when he was falling behind in his math studies, eh? I still fish with his unused gear and share it with friends that might be interested in taking up the sport. Ah, the joys of housing someone else's stuff.
