Some new hardware and loves of my life

Post by Tokugawa » Fri Jul 17, 2015 8:57 am

Hey gang,

It's been a while...been super busy. Did manage to score some new sticks and reels. The first is a MB Orochi XX F5-72XX Diablo Spec-R with a TD-Z ito. The second is a MB Orochi F3st-610XXS XX Stinger Shot with an Ignis 2505 Type-R. The sticks are really nice for the price point. Loving the Diablo's versatility.

And best for last...the girls are into fishing! Thanks to Gulfcoastwader for providing the wiggling bait. LOL! \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

Nice gear buddy, always fun getting new rods or reels. I always buy in winter the anticipation to use the gear almost kills me each spring :lol:

Thanks for sharing.

Nice family shot. Enjoy it while it lasts because it's all smiles until those youngsters start fishing better than you do. :D

Nice gear additions!

Looks like a couple of happy kidos to me! =D>

Some photos that will be great to look back at down the road.

Might want to tell the one child the dangers of "high sticking" :lol:

Now that's what family & fishin' is all about. Your pics brought back lots of memories. Mine are grown, but we still all love to fish! When they were little and learning, I'd never bring a pole along for myself. If I did, I'd get to involved and almost forget about the kids. That frustrated all parties so I made sure that when we went out, my poles stayed home. That way I could just coach, encourage, bait hooks, untangle lines and remove fish. Thanks for bringing back great times! Enjoy because they grew up sooo fast!

Another reason to pick up more toys. It's not just for you anymore.

Gotta admit that when I read the post title, I was expecting the loves of your life to be something along the lines of a Super Stallion,couple o' white pythons, etc. lol....caught me off guard there! Beautiful lil ladies, bud...I am however surprised they don't have the pink MB Episwords tho, but hey- Christmas will be here soon enough :big grin:
And nice tackle of course, as always....

Thankfully, college funds are set for them. Fortunate in that regard.

When they are old enough, they will get customs if they want. :big grin:
