In sales it is called "The percentage Rule". IE, 10% of my paycheck is different than 10% of your paycheck. In other words, a $79.00 fishing reel to one person is the same percentage of his pay compared to a $799.00 reel for another person.
Would I buy it? Sure, if my pay was high enough! Is there a difference in one versus the other? I've held a few different ones in my hands. They are nice don't get me wrong, but not justifiable at my current percentage rate
Do they make a differance in fishing? I guess that is up to the person fishing it. Am I jelous of the person that has one? Nope... just wish my percentage was high enough to warrant it. Then again, he may have a nice reel and drive a old beat up truck... his priorities are his priorities.
