That is some funny s**t right there. Telling brokeloser to buy t-bones gear cause t-bone's more broke than brokeloser.

When I started fishing the kayak I was an unemployed broke loser so I just picked up a couple of penn 500 combos on sale at sports authority. That might be an option for ya.

haha nah man wasnt tryin to poke any fun at your misfortune... my dad spent the last 2 years on unemployment and has recently just started getting back into working self employed doing carpentry and general contracting gigs. Luckily he has a friend in commercial and residential painting otherwise he was about to sell his garage full of tools. Easily probably over 25,000 dollars worth of tool purchases over the last 30 years. Ive seen first hand how people in your field have been affected. Its tough. Good luck to you man, hope you find something so you dont have to get rid of all your gear.

T-Bone,

I know you've heard this a million times but... Usually these things work out okay, but I understand that its tough when it's happening. Been there myself recently. What kind of work to you do? Maybe somebody here could give you a lead...

In the meantime, hope you can take advantage of the time to do some fishing.
