Dead on! I had SSI last year and did nothing to speak of, read and read over the winter, and now I am catching some fish, should improve every year for some time I'm sure too. I have all new gear, and a lot of it high end, but what makes the difference is experience, I get that largely from others, reading their articles and posts. While my new stuff grows old I think it will be catching more as I mature as a fisherman. It's not the toys, it's the experience behind them IME!
