What new stuff have you bought this year?

[eriks]

Thx For the advice on the trap pulled Tincan. I searched the forums for trap pullers, and everyone seems to have a different opinion on which ones work or not. Seems like the guys who build their own ones love them! I'll keep searching for info on what seems to be the best one to buy over the counter. Let me know how your repaired one works out, guess I'll be hand hauling for a while yet!

Ive been a good boy up until 2 weeks ago. Then I found a 10ft, 6wt, 4 piece TFO that I had to have and a 7wt, 4 piece Echo Switch rod that started to call my name. Needless to say there are some other goodies that work with these two rods that I will no doubt have to have.

Make that 5...stopped by PNT in parksville....and he manage to talk me into one....I am going to be fishing almost primarily around the central inside coast and plugs don't seem to be used all that much. If you know of any that work well as far as plugs go for the inside let me know, just let me know when to use em....I have the 602 6" classic, a 232 6" tubby, a custom 5" red with plaid reflective interior. Any other suggestions would be great.
