There have been advances certainly with the clothing and boots over the years and headlamps have become lighter and brighter but have the rods and reels really improved that much for the average fisherman?
I have tons of gear but it is basically because I have the money to spend on my hobby/pastime, there is no way I would skint myself for the latest model of anything.

I guess just because we get older, doesnt mean we get more sensible, a hobby is a hobby, and whether its fishing, shooting, metal detecting, boats, etc, there are always new toys to play with......I like toys ....Cant wait for Santa to arrive....
