Hate to say it, but I'd be stripping down to y fronts and going in for it before swiftly packing up and going home in shame 🤣
50lb braid will be used to avoid any embarrassment.

Happened this past October I think.
Cracked off 30lb banana braid...woosh into the drink with a steady wind drifting it away. Thought about going in then realized how cold it would have been. Luckily enough another angler was about, what, 1/4 mile away and borrowed a lead. By the time I got back it wasn't showing up on the app. Panicked thinking we'll that's it, best part of £300 gone, then all of a sudden, it showed up on the app about 130yds or so away on the other bank. Rushed around, first cast, wollop, reeled it back in. Yay.
I know a few blokes who've gone in for there's. I got lucky.

Luckily I've never had this problem but I use 50lb braid straight through so glad it wouldn't crack off hopefully but I've had the deeper chirp since it came out and haven't done it yet lol I find casting them fine unless there is a strong wind then you have to account for that

I have a very minimal set up but lots of upgrades over the years.
Free spirit, CA, shimano, fortis, jag, aqua, trakker.
Done lots of eBay though to get rid of old stuff once upgraded to avoid having a loft full of gear.

My ‘woman' doesn't care what I've got and that's how it should be. The bills get paid, the kids get whatever they need, we don't go short of anything. And I spend whatever I want. I'm doing £1500 a month of overtime at the moment and my Mrs doesn't care. Plus she works full time and earns good money herself anyway, she's not one of these lazy stay at home types who earns naff all then questions you spending the money YOU'VE earned!

Bare minimum equipment for me, sold most of the stuff I rarely used many years ago, I've not missed it.

I've a friend who has a Mrs like that, never worked a f*****g day, he grafts like a madman in the building trade, and hands it all to her, who inevitably blows most on complete nonsense, has to ask her permission for everything. Sad to see, but he's choice I guess.

Sounds to me like he is a mug
One of my mates brother in laws was like that. He used to graft his bollox off, overtime galore, his ugly wife used to just used to sit at home and blow the lot. Had a new kitchen fitted, around 3 years later?, didn't like it and had another one fitted, bathrooms the same plus clothes and crap galore. Stressed him out big time, he had a stroke that ****ed him up, she then left him with around 30k of debt. The best bit, they didn't have any kids so there was no excuse for her being at home the lazy **** !!!
He was under the thumb

It's taken me a long time, and it's been a costly process, but I can honestly say I am at that point now.
There is absolutely nothing I "need" .......................or "want" come to that.
