have numerous and consecutive dream about your dream reel
alway thinking about your reels
Never let anybody use or touch your reels
trying new reel in swimming pool when not fishing
Worrying more about your reel getting scratch or damage then your boat or motor
Have a nurveous breakdown when it does get scratch
take picture of your reel and have it framed
Oh yeah, this is my friend and not me
