How to hide an expensive tackle purchase from the misses!
Gday all - just thought this might be a helpful post for any fellow fisho's looking to treat yourself on new gear for this summer season. Ive recently spent a few thousand on the boat with motor servicing, trailer repairs, new chartplotter combo, etc (never seems to end) and the Mrs had a grumble about it. Then I decided I wanted a new Shimano Tiagra 50W LRS with matching 24kg tiagra rod and black magic harness/gimbal belt at a cost of around $1800 bucks to use out at the FADs this summer. New she would hit the roof if she saw that purchase on our bank statement so I went into Getaway Outdoors in Balcatta after i heard they offer the Certegy Ezipay 1 year interest free payment facility. It had to be ordered in as they dont carry combos that big and I pick it up today at a cost of only $67.00 bucks a fortnight for 1 year interest free - Yippee!. The Mrs is in Bali now so i can get it into the shed without her seeing it and she wont really notice the fortnightly deductions and all rods n reels look the same to her. I presume all Getaway shops offer the Certegy Ezipay so go get some retail therapy fella's.

Fees are not that bad really
When you make your initial purchase, Certegy will open a Continuous Credit Account for you. With this initial purchase, you will pay a once off establishment fee between $35 and $90 to set up your Account, which is payable over the term of the purchase plan. The Account will provide you access to online information about your purchase(s), credit schedule(s), available credit, access to our contact us enquiry page and other benefits. There is a monthly account keeping fee of $3.50 which will be direct debited while your account remains active.
Are there any other charges?
There is a $2.95 payment processing fee to process each repayment. Please remember that your payment plan has No Interest Ever! Please refer to the “Terms and Conditions” in store for further details.

Don't get in a relationship
Don't get in a relationship where you need permission for toys. Just work a bit more ot and go to town.

Just get it
Just go out and get what you want, don't worry about the missus. It's always easier to ask for forgiveness than beg for permission
This habit is getting expensive!

Nah wasnt intentionally giving them a plug.
I had just got back from a disastrous 1 week fishing trip at Coral bay and i was in a fukn shit mood cause of the wind and swell which ruined all fishing up there and only managed an 11kg yellowfin (hooked 2 at once lost the other at the boat)- the only thing I had to smile about was that i was picking up me new combo - never go fishing at coral bay this time of the year guys. There were heaps of boats up there and none of them left their trailers for 7 days. cheers Dave

Tues n wednesday howling and yeh thursday was beautiful but me mate had booked the ATV vehicle tour for that morning cause earlier in the week seabreeze said it was gonna be howling on thursday (fark). I was sitting at turtle cliffs on the ATV looking out at a glassed-off ocean friggn pissed right off. How did you go, what did you catch on that thursday morning

Can't see a problem with it.
Can't see a problem with it. If they are a site sponsor then they're entitled to a plug. As for hiding from the missus I just tell her it's for the boy's, works every time.
