I prefer fishing fish, but I actually have two rods & reels I caught
while fishing in local lakes.
My favorite equipment catch was many years ago (in the early 1960's)
when I first started fishing using a bait caster. I still have the old
Abu Garcia reel and it works as smoothly as ever. Back to the story.
The fellow who got me into fishing took me to a nearby lake and was
teaching me how to cast properly (I never did learn). I hooked a nice
bass and apparently hadn't done a good job of tying on my favorite lure
- it broke off. Fortunately I had another one. In fact at that time I
probably only owned 1/2 dozen lures.
A couple of weeks later my "mentor" took me back to the same lake. By
that time I had practiced my knots. I hooked another nice fish in the
same area. This time I was more careful fighting it and made sure it
didn't break off this time. It was about a 3-4 pounder........with both
lures in his mouth!!
