you did all that in 4 hours??
If you come over my house and help me, I will buy you a case of beer, or a 5th of whatever you want.
That sounds like a 3-4 week project a couple of hours a night for me.
Good Job,
John

Well I only got 2 of the combos cleaned up.
I have to cycle them through the house 2 at a time or else the wife will get wise to my collection. I figure anoher 6 hours to get the rest ofthe gear tuned up.
But yeah....the tackle is ready to go!

Damn and here all I have gotten done over the last few days was build and install a new 16 rod holder to hang from the ceiling in my garage...At least my wife just looks at the stuff now, shakes her head, and walks away...She has no idea how imortant it is to have the right equipment for the job....
Hopefully Marty wont tell me about Clyde's having a great sale on trolling gear again this year...

Spot,
You mentioned nothing about moving on to your shootin' irons... ...or is that a subject for that other board?? There's a lot to be said about using something like "break free" on your reels...
I still need to touch up planer boards and reconfigure my stuff for spring.

Last year I came to the realization that I don't need to buy any fishing tackle ever again. This might be a slight overstatement, but with dozens each of bucktails, jigheads, rattletraps, 100's of fresh and salt plastics, chutes and spoons, I really am set for years. Only thng to still buy regularly is terminal tackle and line and leader. I notice old-timers' tackle boxes are usually sparse with only a few lures proven over years. I have tons of stuff I never throw. Why is that?

Reminds me of the quote about fearing the man who owns only one rifle.....you can be damn sure he knows how to use it.
I buy a lot of things that look great in the stores, but after trying them with no luck or being disappointed in the action I tend to jump right back to my old reliable lures.
Which leads to me having tons of crap I'll never use.

I haven;t bought anything in two years. Just don;t need to. The RIPS normally " ate" my tackle, but fishing the RIPS is just a waste of time at this point.
I " double ordered" jig heads from Capt Steve three years ago, which I figured out two years ago, so I'm good. With the cancellation of Upper Marlboro show, which I ALWAYS attended, mostly for the comradeship, that's lessened my urge to buy things that " look good".
I do need some lil bunkers thou...

Man if I ever got to use them, I'd have a need to clean them.
I actually get to shoot less than a half dozen times a year.
Of course I'll burn through 5,000 rounds each time.
I did use Break Free for a while, and when I just need a regular oil I put that CLP on everything. But Mark at 2A in Jessup swears by the Wilson stuff so I told him I'd try both the grease and the oil.
