Wondering if it is possible to have too many reels. This came up today when I mentioned to a fishing buddy that I had an offer in on a 3 3/4" Perfect but that I didn't think I would up the offer as I really didn't need another reel. He chastised me severely and pointed out that I have been drooling over the new Loop classics and also talking about ordering another Mohlin. "What did I mean that I didn't need another reel?" Well after thinking about it, I decided he was right that I probably do "need" another reel. Or maybe three. But that led to the question, can you ever have too many. After pondering this for a while, I don't think so. What say you all?

I say, if you don't need another reel, you don't have enough lines. (or maybe not enough rods.)

You can have enough rods, just not enough reels. Those loop classics really are nice but remember no spool change. So you need one for every line you have :saevilw:

Can't have too many reels. It's almost like I choose based on what I feel like that day instead of line I need.

I really like the way Sparse thinks. Everyone needs more lines.

I have been getting ready to haul some demo tackle to MT for a little spey clave and I know I do not have enough reels. BUY THAT PERFECT!!!:smokin:

Yes I need more reels. There is one more "special" one that I'm wanting to get my hands on before I need a felt soled walker.:lildevl:

I suppose it is possible that I might have too many already, but there's only one way to know for sure ...

 

[ChromeFever]

Blasphemy

You should straight to church and confess your sin.............

Then on your way home buy that reel!:lildevl:

 

[Dana]

never enough

I agree about the lines issue. I have been using Skagit lines with new casters the past few months and now I need to get a bunch of new reels for my Skagit setups.

hey tip,

you have too many reels.

you must overcome this sickness by first telling me details about the 3 3/4 perfect (location, year, shape, line guard, $, etc).

DO NOT INCREASE THE OFFER

i'm glad i could help.

[crobarr]

so silly.......... like asking if there's enough beer and peat water on hand before a big party...... just silly.

If you can still remember the number of reels you own,,,,,it is not enough.

I have a four drawer clothing chest full and some reels in gear bags ready to travel.

Many too reels, reels many too...I've been trying to arrange these three words in a way that makes sense without success.
