Am I becoming a tackle whore?

Tackle whore is trying to find a Megabass Diablo Slant Bridge, and when you find it, not minding paying $1000 for it.

lol, you're right

You're on your way there, but you won't be totally converted until you start buying JDM rod and reel combos. Some useful vocabulary includes (but not limited to): JDM, Megabass, Evergreen, ZPI, and Bassart. A good working knowledge of all the limited edition and discontinued JDM rods and reels is also useful. I am only half way there seeing as I have never bought a high end JDM rod. Seen and held a few, but never bought one.
DarkShadow's statement hits the nail on the head.

lol i want some of those JDM reels and rods, like the megabass. Some guy I fish with came from Japan and has a nice megabass rod. I want that Shimano Aldebaran, but am not willing to cough up the dough with no warranty...

I'm fairly new to fishing still, just at one year, but I'll get there. probably not as much as DS though lol, maybe when I get a better paying job and finish school.

speaking of JDM reels, look at the Shimano Scorpion XT

Not a Whore yet,, just a slut,, LOL

...probably not as much as DS though lol.

Not even.

If I dropped $1000 on a rod, I'd have to survive on 99 cent McDoubles for about 2 months.

And if I had to go as low as to surviving on 99 cent McDoubles for 2 months to support my habit of wanting limited edition fishing rods from Japan, I'd hope I'd soon walk into a room with my close friends and family, THIS guy:



and some cameras from A&E.
