Is there such a thing as to many reels?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Is there such a thing as to many reels?

Post by Shim_Dai_Ano_Wa » Sun Jan 13, 2013 3:47 pm

Ok I know it's a stupid question especially for tackle forum.

But seriously freaking a the lexa did it to me on this one.

They made all the lefties and righties in 2 sizes and makes me want to buy one of each.

Do I need them all? Probably not?


I just cant justify myself in buying more.

I'm really trying to resist but Im finding it to be difficult.

I still have my curado D brand new never fished.... :big grin: :big grin:

You can't have to many reels.
You can't have TOO many reels.

You guys ain't seen nothin'. The Old Reel Collectors Association recently conducted a poll on the number of reels in member's collections. 6% of the members had over 2500 reels. 33% of the members had 251-500. I fall in that category.

If you have too many reels the only solution it to buy more rods. Everyone knows that.

Instead of buying more reels, I'd like to save money to buy a couple of top class reels.
