[QUOTE="KDM, post: 165446, member: 314"] My thoughts about this topic are based not on the price of the equipment, but how efficiently that equipment can convert "Bites" into fish "Caught". Expensive equipment might be more sensitive and tell the one holding the rod they have a bite a bit better, but EXPERIENCE with ones equipment is worth much more than dollars when in the field. I know guys that have spent 5 grand on a rifle/scope combo that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if they were locked inside while the guys with the 50 year old sears and roebuck special for 45 bucks are LETHAL on anything 400 and closer. Why? Because they have used that gun for 50 years. The same with fishing equipment. If a guy uses that cheap equipment long enough, they learn the nuances and special traits of that equipment which translates more bites into caught fish. Neither is better IMO. Guys can pay for expensive sensitivity or just use the cheap stuff long enough to "know" when they have a bite and over a given time frame the numbers of fish caught between the two, I suspect will be similar. Use what you have and just fish. Pretty sure the fish don't check price tags on equipment before biting the lure or bait. Good Luck Everyone!!! [/QUOTE]
