Iposted a thread about expensive rods will they make me catch more fish? the replies i got well isnt there sum d**** on this forum.I know its about how you present the fly, i used to be a carp angler and thats all about how you present the bait its the same in all fishing presentation.I got a few sensible answers so thanks to you guys and all the rest of you that were bragging about your flash tackle havnt really got much going for yourselfs but thanks to the normal guys that answered my question.

Mate, not wanting to come across as one of the d**** (as I know there are plenty on here with out my help) but for someone that has experience in fishing is does seem a bit of a strange question..

So why did you ask the question?

May well explain some of the answers you received from those you perceive not to be 'normal'.

That's just the point Alan, no, and I don't think there ever will be.
Horses for courses and all that.

Hi Steven,

Just like you I'm becoming a self confessed "Tackle Tart" And I wondered if you were saddling up and heading for the Antiques Road show on the BBC? it comes from Cumbria tonight!

Oh, and you can catch more fish with an expensive rod; providing it's the only rod you fish with!!

hi mate only been on forum for a few weeks so didnt know question been asked before just wanted to know why people spend so much money on these expensive rods

I think you will find the answer is ..Its because they can . The same reason as the well of drive jaguars and the financially challenged drive skoda. When in fact both are only allowed to go at 70mph,. Anyway..

Its the same as Why people buy £150,000 Cars and £1,000,000 Houses. Cos they can. They still do the same job just a little bit better. What people need to appreciate is that there are people who earn more a day or even per hour than the average person earns in a Year and these people are willing to pay extra for Tackle and Memberships so as not to have to mix with the masses. The World would be in a lot less trouble if people realised that yes its ok to buy the best you can afford but not everyone has to buy what the millionaires buy
