alexey: Of course, I am not berating you
As you say, each to himself .. when I did get into the fishing business, me too spent a lot, until I realised that paying mega bucks don't mean the chick is made of platinum
The idea is to learn to get a good deal, or strike an optimum balance ..
Have fun guys, and cheers to all too

As I said, some don't mind a higher price for less hassle .. others - like you and me, prefer to stretch our $
