<p>Exactly! I get the "look" if I even mention something about getting a new item. Now I just get it, stash it and it become part of the landscape. when you have so much stuff it all blends in. The great thing is I have a store and I bring stuff home to my wive and load her closest full. When see says anything I just open the door and say "look"</p>

<p>Larry I can't use that one. My wife has always been the frugal one and being she only has 2 or 3 purses I'm well beyond that that wouldn't work for me.</p>

<p>I guess we keep the economy going that way. I still have a 6wt and 7wt I would like to upgrade, but, it's not like the rods are no good, just older technology. My wife just shakes her head and says she doesn't understand. I tell her welcome to my world!</p>

<p>You know Craig it's easy to say but hard to do. I have 2 vices in this world and feed them both well. #1 is eating which I do so well and paying for it dearly now and # 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 is fishing and anything related. So Craig be it for me to preach to the choir about having to much stuff. I love to walk through the isles at my sporting good stores and the bad thing is I have to visit them all I guess I buy things on occasion quit frequently if you ask my wife she'll always say…</p>

So Craig be it for me to preach to the choir about having to much stuff. I love to walk through the isles at my sporting good stores and the bad thing is I have to visit them all I guess I buy things on occasion quit frequently if you ask my wife she'll always say you already have 5 or 6 of them and I'll tell her this is the new improved version. I love to try and keep updated with the newest things out there and believe me when I say most of them are to catch fisherman not fish and I am caught frequently. I'm upgrading as I speak. Bought a new loomis 8"UL like I need another rod and some fly reels and 3 new Pflueger reels because I'm upgrading. So it's a vicious circle and as long as there is new stuff out there I'll be checking it out and probably buying as usual.</p>

<p>Dick, you are right. I hate to say it but I have rods, reels and baits that have never seen the water. I wanted a new fly rod and reel, and a couple of other things a couple of weeks ago. I went to guy I know who owns a very well know fly shop and have been doing some trading. I took 6 x 3600 trays down to his shop full of japanese lures, not a few, these were jammed full. Ended up leaving 4 trays there (about $1,400.00 worth of baits) but got my Hardy Zenith 9'5wt, Hardy UL 2000CC reel,…</p>

I guess it's time to fish and stop worring about collecting.</p>
