Fishing, like golf or skiing or just about any sport has gotten way to specialized and seems to require multiple quivers of gear for different situations. You can’t use bass gear for trout. You have to have “lake fishing” set ups, “river fishing” set ups, trolling rods, casting rods.If you want want to have more fun with 9 inch fish, you have to go “light”. Level winds for salmon. Fly fishing gear for “fly only” waters.You get the picture.
