My wife got slapped around......by the monkey

[carolina-rig-01]

Britney is my tournament partner this year and she is starting to get a first hand experience with the monkey. Normally I don't post threads about the tackle I buy, mainly because I am just too lazy. But since this trip to Bass Pro was mostly about Britney, I thought I would post about it. She usually just uses my rods and reels but since we will be tourney fishing I wanted her to have some rods and reels of her own so we won't have to share. She needed a few more reels to fill out her arsenal (I have several rods in the garage that she can use), so we picked her up 3 Pro Qualifiers. She also needed a good rainsuit so we looked for hours trying to find her a good rainsuit that would actually fit her. I wanted her to get a Pro Qualifier rainsuit like mine because I know how warm and dry it keeps me and I didn't have any experience with any other suits there so I wasn't sure how good they were. Problem was trying to find a rainsuit that would fit her, since she is a small thing and most rainsuits only came in mediums or bigger. We finally settled on the Bone Dry suit because it was the only rainsuit that looked to be quality that would fit her. I needed a new pair of good sunglasses because my Oakleys are getting worn out after 9 years lol. So I picked up a pair of Costa Del Mar Man O Wars for myself. I haven't put them to use looking for beds yet but I can say that they are probably the lightes sunglasses I have ever worn and they are very high quality lenses that give good color contrast and clear vision. It was an expensive trip but we had fun and now Britney has a few rods and reels of her own now. We spooled them up lastnight and had some pitching and flipping practice in the living room after Lake went to bed.
