How many times have you come across a guy fishing the surf.
He has all the right gear...

Either a VS or ZB...
3-$400 rod....
High end tackle bag....
Orvis or other High End breathable waders....

When someone like this passes by you, do you naturally kind of assume they are a little more tuned in to a potential surf bite, because of their high end gear?

Of course you do...
I do this sometimes at well....


There is a saying, "Clothes make the man"...
When we see someone wearing a high end tailored suit, we tend to assume he might be a banker,, Doctor, professor, businessman, etc...in fact we assume he HAS to be successful, because at the very least, he is dressed for it.......

I mean, a guy wearing a high end suit couldn't be a crimnal, or child molester, or con man, etc, etc...the suit he has on, demands we assess him differently....he is dressed for success....
