Here's where the "old" is better than the "new". My yak carrying car is a simple keyed ignition and no automatic alarm or immobiliser... Short of dropping my car keys into a grated manhole or over the side of the yak in WP, I don't have to worry about the car.

I had a good laugh and then realised I shouldn't.... That's a surefire way of ensuring it happens to me next on a bucketlist fish...

If a person feels the thrill of using good, light gear. If that person likes the way the good reel rolls and gives line freely, or feels the fishes power through a properly designed and built rod....going to cheap and cruddy gear is simply letting go of a part of why you fish.
