Ok one for the tackle tarts i guess but what is the piece of fishing gear you own that is a pleasure to own and use? The rod or reel (or both) that brings a smile to your face every time you use it?
For me its my Penn 100 Torque and my Islander Boat Rods (i have the 12/20 and the 6/12). The rods are super light and slim, have fuji power oval guides and are just really nicely made. The 12/20 can handle weights up to and a little over a 1lb and the lighter one is happier with leads up to 10oz. The reel is just a bit flash in gold for me buts its pure fishing porn!
So what's yours and why?
