TO START there are 2 of those round plastic expandable Rod Cases with about 10 Older Rods in them One LARGE bag of "What Am I Gonna do with all this line??" Also 3 Small Tackle Boxes filled with.."I don't remember Buying That!". A Collection of every type, size and make of filleting knife you can think of.

PICTURES::

Ceiling Holder -

12 Assorted Rods & Reels of various Lengths and Power for whatever the Fish May Be.
.
Plano Tackle Box.:

12 Years Old & Remodeled a while back that still won't carry 50% of the "Extra Tackle."

Spare Reels:

They Don't yet have a Matching Rod or none of the other Reels have "Broken Down".
(I enjoy tearing down my Reels Now & Then for Cleaning an/or Repair.)

Zebco Cardinal 4:

My first "REAL" Spinning Reel form 1975. It was in Retirement but it's coming Back Out for a Tear Down and Active Duty again. What a Simple yet Accurate Reel to use. Love It!!


Penn Peer 209M:

Another Beautiful Reel to use! Just had a Tear Down & Clean Up. Ready To Use Again. About 15/20 Years Old. Caught It's Fair Share Of Lakers. Mostly in Charleston Lake, North of Gananoque. NO Downriggers OR Fish Finders Then. Flat Line to about 125/175 Feet. I HATE SNAGS! Wind, Wind, Wind. Back Out Again.

Major Glass Rod:

Paired with the Penn. You could drag a Truck off the bottom with that Rod Or drive over it with a Truck and it probably wouldn't Break. Nice Combo for the BIGGIES and a Pleasure To Use!

Guess that's enough for now :razz: :razz:

nice collection, youve been at it reallllll long. haha
i think everyone who really fishes, has at least that one bag of loose line, or a draw full of spools with bits of leftover line etc etc.

or the classic,, a tackle box with balls of line and rusted hooks bunched together.

Hey Erie! Was that you in my Basement the Other Night? Otherwise. How could you know all about My "Stuff"?! :razz: :razz:

 

[eric]

haha

this is what about 5 years ago. i got rid of my tackle boxes.
when you have a box, you tend to accumulate alot of trash.
nowadays im able to fish very lightly, have all necessary hardware in a small pouch, and can go almost anywhere without the weight.

 

[iJay]

Once we get ALL the stuff out and ready to go into the trailer this evening I will be sure to take a pic!
