and a lot of nice stuff, but someone posted there "tackle shop" a few months or a year ago that blows everything shown (all combined too) away, i dont remember who it was now but maybe they will put it back up.

Here is our 'pit with just the tuna tournament tackle out and ready to rock - which it surely did ($$$$$) that time!

We raised a lot of little guys a bunch of marlin and mahis. No wahoo, which no matter what, I will go after, but we were trolling the bars too slow for the FangBangers. Only baited and caught three of the tunas (our charter wanted to win that division and that division only) and the last two were on one engine in a two dayer with over a hundred other local charterboats in the contest. The three fish that we baited and caught placed #1, #2, and #3. The rigging, the crew, and everything else was all-pro. We were among the most expensive show in town (hat's off to Picante) based on our size and we were always busy.

We had 28 Accurates and 26 Penn Int'ls available for our customers, all with exceptional rods, mostly custom designed by me.

Our tackle up here in the north is comparable, as is everything else on the 33 Blackfin with the tower, "Dog House".

Bill ,now I know why you have all those rod holders on your sled.

Im not going to bother posting up my couple rods and Shimanos, but all your gear is very impressive. One day my collection will look like all of yours. One question, how long has it taken you to build up your tackle?

14 years on and off I started with 6/0s , 4/0s and moved to international bolt togethers then to SWs and last year made the move to VSWs . I have bought tackle all over mostly from people selling everything and getting out of fishing is where the bulk of my tackle came from over the years.
14 50VSWs
12 30 VSWs and TWs
6 80 VSWs , STWs and T
4 70 VS
6 16 VSX

and a couple of jigging reels.
