Stuck in the house bored so I decided now would be a great time to take inventory over all of the fishing stuff I have gathered over the years. Whenever Walmart or Academy have a clearance sale I tend to spend $50 or so. First up is two boxes of fishing line. I have 97 spools of fishing line of all types and lb test. Most of it I forgot I purchased. Here is pic.

I have a serious problem but this is just the beginning.
Oh wow!
My problem is the little bit of line left on the rolls after you spool up. I have tons of them left laying around. Being unsure how much is actually on the spool I just start a new roll. :banghead
This is one of those Ikea bags filled with stuff I have purchased on clearance over the last 3 years. I figured the time has come for me to sort thru it all.

Can never have too much fishing gear. Especially if it is found in the clearance bin

My wife keeps me in check or I would have a similar stash. LOL
At this point I have probably more than I could ever use. Yet I'm one of the first to grab something new or different or on sale..... :Rofl
Garage Sale Time!
Always some kids at the ramps that would be happy to get a few packs.

Never hurts to give a little to those that will come after us.
use those for leaders and double rigs. or use as filler for adding braid on top.Quote:

Last summer I cleaned out my storage bin. Gave an open invite to anyone that wanted to help me. Told them they could keep anything I wasn’t using currently, free, just for helping me. Ten people showed up. I had 20 years worth of equipment, nets, waders, rod holders, rods and reels, close to 300 packs of unopened jigs and bodies in six big coolers, older electronics that still worked, underwater cameras, icefishing sleds and equipment and quite a few things I had for battery use. I gave away close to four thousand dollars worth of stuff, free. And still have to much stuff left. I’m gonna need to have a garage sale just to get rid of some of the stuff I bought in this last year.
So far I hide mine in power tool boxes. :Rofl
An old proverb says- "He who dies with the most lures-WINS!"
