is this you? LOL
a tidbit picked from a bamboo flyrod site
Here's a quote from Ernie Schweibert: "If you know how many rods you have, you don't have enough. (I don't subscribe to that, but I think it's knee-slapper)."

That's pretty funny!
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Btw, I know at least 2 members here that use a spreadsheet to keep track of what reel is on what rod, and what line is on the reel and when it was put on.

Re: is this you? LOL
I'd do that if I knew how to use a spreadsheet. Of course many of my reels would need to be re-spooled so I'd know what line was on it. Meant to keep track, but it just didn't happen. My biggest problem is deciding which reel should go on which rod.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 8:27 amBtw, I know at least 2 members here that use a spreadsheet to keep track of what reel is on what rod, and what line is on the reel and when it was put on.
EDIT: Oops. Just realized we are talking fly fishing. In that case I definitely don't have enough rods as I not only know how many I have, but their length and line weight.
Re: is this you? LOL
I will write it out on paper sometimes to keep up with it or if I plan to move some combos around, but a few years back I found a problem with a cranking rod. Had a old Zillion TWS on a 7'6"MH cranking rod and cranks weren't running very deep. DT10s and other mid/bigger cranks were running way too shallow. I had sworn I had the right line on there but it ended up being 17lb InvizX. Felt bad that I had finally accumulated enough tackle to not keep up with it. I always knew what line was where and kept up with it. Still no idea how I got those crossed all up.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 8:27 amBtw, I know at least 2 members here that use a spreadsheet to keep track of what reel is on what rod, and what line is on the reel and when it was put on.

Make it 3. My spreadsheet is in google docs for access from anywhere. Yes I have pulled it up while on the lake in my yak...
I track way too much.
-Line brand, lb test, spool date
-spool bearing oil date
-full reel cleaning date, which grease was used on gears(incase I tried a new one)
-my houshold budget, personal budget, and fishing budget
-projected monthly savings, annual savings goal, and YTD progress.
Funny post!

…or that look when you tell non-anglers that you have 30-plus fishing rods…and then they ask if you are a collector…and then you laugh and say not even close.

You say that as if there’s something wrong with that!

Re: is this you? LOL
I have the rod/reel, line and lube date. I also have a "budget" of sorts. I type what I sell a rod/reel for (been a while) and go from there to find new stuff.Preston wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 8:44 amhoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Sat Jun 13, 2020 8:27 amBtw, I know at least 2 members here that use a spreadsheet to keep track of what reel is on what rod, and what line is on the reel and when it was put on.
