Location: Cedarburg, Wisconsin | Wow, never thought about it. There is a lot of equipment I really like but if I had to go with three these are them.
ABU 7000C3 Synchro reels.
Spiderwire Braid
Eagle Tails
There is so much good equipment out there it was tough to choose, but these three I just take for granted. They always work and they have lasted for a long time under hard use. What more could you ask for? |

isn't the xm and sirius merger going to cost us all more money? ... with no choices? by eliminating competition and monopolizing the product category?
How much choice would you have when they BOTH go out of business on their own? Besides, free radio is a choice.
Anyway, not including the lucrative Team Arbogast endorsement that I already signed, I would go with:
Zebco
Oddysey (sp?)
Whoever makes the Burmek (Uncle Josh?)

Location: Rhinelander, WI | Whoever is going to give me the most fee stuff or pay me the most money. Isn’t that how it’s normally done.
Considering I am not a guide and fish tournaments independently and never see having any true endorsements, my top choices for honest to goodness quality products are the following:
St. Croix Rods – Customer Service is the key
Abu Garcia Reels – Customer Service is again the key
Frabill Lure Retrievers – Worth more than it’s weight in DCGs
Suick Thrillers – Sometimes it tough to beat old fashion productivity.
Nail A Pig!

Lamiglass Rods
Frabill
H2O Tackle
Live Action Lures
Vexilar

i think he's saying that if they hadn't merged, they both would have gone out of business, leaving us with no choice between them.
having the option of purchasing satellite radio or not, is better than none at all.

Location: minocqua, wi. | ok ... i really tried to understand the question ...
i would rather have satellite for the reception in remote areas than the uninterupted listening ... i say give me satellite with the advertisements like conventional radio.

| An interesting question. I shoot underwater video that is sometimes seen on TV. IF ..... an opportunity presented itself to have my footage, or a segment on a show sponsored by a corporation, an ideal fit would be humminbird sidescan, or other sonar manufacturers. Another good sponsor might be an underwater camera system company.
Those would be the sponsors I could do the most for. Baits/lures would be a good situation as well. In truth, any ETHICAL sponsor would be welcome. I have some standards, and I won't violate them for a few bucks.
As I support catch and release Muskie fishing, I do have some stipulations in my standard agreement that discourage the use of footage in advertisements that are contrary to that practice.

Location: NYC (and many weeks in MN during summer) | I agree, there are lots of great fishing related companies out there whose products I use and love. Naming just 3 is difficult.
Anyway, here's 3 I couldn't do without.
1) Shimano. IMO, hands down there is nothing even close to the quality.
2) thorne brothers musky store. They have all the stuff I need/want with a great staff, a few of which I have become friends with.
3) stowmaster nets. Great quality with an innovative design.
A close runner up is grim reaper lures. Quality construction on their spinnerbaits, and the triple threats have caught more fish for me than all my other 500 baits COMBINED!
Also, as mentioned in an earlier post, the old diamondbacks are the BEST rods I've ever touched. Too bad what happened to them now.

(if I was to choose by the companies ability to pay the most amount of money, it would be Ranger, Lowrance and pure fishing) |
