Actually that would be ex-girlfriend. She wasnt real happy about me not letting her design the house. But she cant afford to pay attention so i figured since i was paying for it I should make it the way I want it.

If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?

So I decided what the tackle room needed was some shelves so I put some together today out of some more ruff cut cedar.

Nice work!

I just think your tackle room looks awesome! I wish you could give us a picture that shows the entire room. Surely more people on the forum have pictures to show!

Backlash


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

A bird's nest (backlash) is a mess of line that happens when the spool of a bait cast reel revolves too fast for the line going out. It's the most time-consuming and frustrating line mess to get out and makes you want to throw the reel into the water! eek

Talk about rod holders, I got a few: PVC gets it done!

(not sure if I have enough rods.....)

Tackle room design? What design?!

Like with the rods, how much is too much....?
The microwave is on the shelf of molds, color dyes, etc. Bags of glitter are on the floor near the shelves containing fur, living rubber and silicone skirt material plus fly tie thread, spool holder and vice.

Does 16 fly rods, and hundreds of flies count?

I think the quote from Jaws is appropriate here:

I'm trying to lighten my "conventional" fishing lure loads, so I make sure whoever comes here has to take plastics home. Some of the rods on the right rack are ones I tied years ago, so I give those to kids. All the rods on the left rack are Dobyn's, and G Loomis. They stay here.

The fly fishing stuff stays in the house.

Al, I partially solved that problem. I gave a 9 year old great grandson a couple of tackle boxes full and 8 or 10 rods and reels. I told him to wait awhile before messing with the casting rigs.

I still have more than I’ll ever use.

The only possible solution for having more tackle than you can ever use, is ... you clearly need more great-grandkids! grin

The fact that Al covers his rods with those 'rod socks' indicates a much, much deeper problem....

Poor, poor, Al. Barely making it day by day, and trying to keep his rods in good shape. I'm tearing up as we speak.
