Not a Grady subject exactly. Being on call on your birthday kinda sucks, but is giving me time to clean and replace line on a few rods and reels. I am realizing that i may have a problem. The truth is every rod I have is necessary as is having an extra for a spare or when fishing two rods. I am sure I’m not alone and this is probably a bigger obsession than the boat. Trout and bass gear will have to wait for another day for cleaning.C2837DED-6ECE-4661-95D2-C26A2C9069C6.jpeg32AACA70-1C66-44C2-8AEC-59DE0CF49724.jpeg

Problem?
What problem??
I don’t see any problem.

Maybe your problem is that your seeing a problem where there is no problem.
That’s serious!,

You definitely need some professional help!!

No problem here!!!! Not sure what you speak of. And this isn't all of them.

Now this is a problem.
No-ones fishing tackle should be that well organised.
What’s wrong with the “Rubiks Cube Method” where you throw all the rods in a corner and then you can spend the days of bad weather working out how to untangle them?
Works best with lures and hooks still attached.

This thread made me do an inventory of my reels. The results are depressing. I haven't used most of them for over 10 years.

That is not a problem for a fisherman. It is a problem for a wife but with tactful negotiation you should be able to work through it.

With the look of that Grouper, it appears you’ve been missing out on some good times.

I only use about 10 reels on a regular basis. That's WAY less than half of what I have accumulated since the 1960s. I recently sold 3 Shimano Calcuttas. They were the first to go since my freshwater days are likely over. It was a liberating experience! :)
