Don’t know if I would call myself a hoarder but I buy good rods summer and winter. Why some many people sell their rods. It’s beyond me!

Sometimes you just can’t resist buying that new shiny rod you see or the new one everyone else is raving about so you gotta buy it. Pretty soon you have way more rods than you can use. You have to thin the herd recoup some money so you can go buy that $3000 Livescope!
January 1, 2020 at 6:32 pm #1902454Fishing is my sickness as my wife calls it. I have way more high $$$ rods than anyone would need and then I started building my own rods to find that niche I was always looking for. I now make open water rods that put St. Croix legend elite to shame. As I build better and better rods I find my big $$$ name brand rods just sitting. Having the perfect rod for the prestation you are looking for make a big difference. It is also nice not to have to retie and just grab a different rod that is set up. I have a hard time selling fishing stuff but with having over 100 rod setups I started selling some. The cost of relining all my rods is killing me. Some of the rods I sold were just ones I have not used in years and some of the high custom rods I put up for sale just didn’t meet the hype for me. I also picked up rods just to test and compare to the rod designs I am making. I keep the best rods I like for my guest and myself and I need to get rid of the rest. I just have a hard time doing it.

Then I woke up in a terrified sweaty panic…..It was only a bad dream

I am happy with my ugly sticks…but I am also happy to use other stuff too.
