I totally agree with you and Barbus. I couldnt believe it when he sais that 'seven fifty' was the price he was offered by the ghillie, i told him he could get a great outfit for £200 max!! Ive been fishing 30 years and while i have a loomis/sage i fish mostly with a GRXi. trouble is, it's not me that's buying the gear. Ive told him the facts, and what he can get for a lot less money, but at the end of the day if he wants to spend that sort of money, i can't stop him!! I'm hoping he'll see partial sense and scale down to the £300 mark...
I am very surprised (and saddened) though that a ghillie would offer him £750 worth of tackle as a complete novice |

Thanks for everyones input.
Sadly, i have to report that he bought the Ghillie's outfits because he felt that he ought to support the chap.
Personally id rather wrap a 7 iron round the Ghillie's head for suggesting such an outfit for a beginner, but hey ho, at least i tried.

Not to worry - I will give him £50 for the lot if he tires of the sport after a couple of months  |
