Hey Dryrod, hee hee that's funny. I don't belong to that club yet but if you can get me an application, I may cosider joining.
In all honesty, I just keep a reel for each pole. As you know the balance of each setup is important. I can't see puting a large reel on an ultralight rod and vice versa. some of the reels that I have(not from the previous list) can be used in fresh and salt water. Proper cleaning and maintenance assures their form, fit and function.
My son and I have a growing collection of rods and reels. I try to keep the combos together in certain groupings depending on what lake, stream, pond, or pier that we plan to attack for that trip. Of course my flyrods will always fit into any of the packages at anytime of the year.
You can see though from the list of model #s that there are some cheapos in there. Those are mostly for loaning out to a buddy that my son might want to bring along.
As far as reels and shoes go, I don't think I want to catch up to my wife on the inventory dept. That could get costly. We have a deal though. Either she gets the new shoes or I get the new real. It's decided through a coin toss, she gets to call and I hate that 2 headed coin she has. lol.[pirate]
