Yep, on the back of Steve2's worst tackle buys thread what is your best tackle buy and why?
Was it an out and out bargain, maybe one you didn't necessarily want but saw an opportunity to sell it on at a gain or something you just liked the look of, or maybe an outdated work horse that's seen weathered years of service and repaid its cost many a time over?
I've had some bargains in my time and travelled through a phase of waving fourteen metres of very expensive carbon around whilst sat on an equally expensive match type seat box on a regular basis but my trusty wicker basket, which I acquired and renovated last year, is sitting pretty so far.
I've got others, including one which I hade made for me, but this one just fits the bill and, at the expense of a full set of Hardy Marksman luggage which has been gathering dust ever since, it hasn't left my side since on practically every session.
It's become my angling comfort blanket and epitomises everything to do with angling to me.
But then I've always been a bit weird like that
So, more a sentimental than practical undertone to mine but all are valid reasons, beauty is after all in the eye of the beholder.
How about you?
