Yeah they're nice and all but the handles are all on the wrong side

My first baitcaster was a Ryobi. Still have it and it works.

keithdog · 03-29-08, 10:42 AM

Holy leapin bass, thats a lot of reels!!! He must be a tad more serious than I am, or just independantly wealthy. sheesh

carolina-rig-01 · 03-29-08, 11:24 AM

My God!!!!!

Raul · 03-29-08, 01:10 PM

Not bad at all !

crankybait · 03-29-08, 03:00 PM

He just set the bar so high... I'll have to beat that eventually...

brushhog · 03-29-08, 03:07 PM

His reels + Zooks cranks = My kids college tuition!!!!

Bob Smith · 03-29-08, 04:06 PM

I have a few of them and love them without equal. I bought my first one in 1981 and retired it sometime in 1997 or 1998. Just unbelievably great reels! I now have the BB-1NG and BB-1NGHS, and comptemplating a couple of more now that I live in Georgia where they throw crankbaits a lot more than we did in Texas.

Buzz Wing · 03-29-08, 04:17 PM

My dad has a Lew's Speedspin on his pike rod and that thing is as smooth as silk!

WTL · 03-29-08, 07:04 PM

Haha, if he takes that boat out on the lake as is his weigh distribution is gonna be all screwed up to the side and front.

bothomas · 03-29-08, 08:20 PM

I wonder how long it takes to oil up 847 reels. Surely to god if trilene sees that pic they will sponsor.. even if he only spools half of them!

zooker · 03-30-08, 04:38 AM

he like me uses these pictures to prove what he owns for insurance purposes..trust me thieves will steal you blind. alot of the older anglers here while probly wont amit it. have more money tied up in the tackle then they have in the boat. it is much easier from an insured point of viewed to have them steal the whole dam boat than just the tackle..lets face it. it is hard to prove what you own to an insurance company.photos are a massive help..especially when dealin with something like the lews reels which are no longer made so the book price would be researched off e-bay.

bamabassman · 03-30-08, 06:59 PM

man..........bait monkey is CALLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't have near that much stuff. wife needs to see this so i can go shopping, hahahaha.

Lilmoosecountry · 04-01-08, 12:05 PM

LEWS reels the best Dam reels on the face of the planet. Don't forget the tuffest.

DOUGER · 04-01-08, 03:23 PM

And the wife gives me heck for having five poles and rods, she needs to see this! HAHA!

zooker · 04-01-08, 06:56 PM

douger
welcome to the site
only 5 rods. guess your new to this thing huh?? don't worry stick around here and you will see massive inventory increases..shhh we wont tell her..

i have so many rods she don't ask is that a new one. she thinks it is just another one of my vast assortment...

zooker

DOUGER · 04-01-08, 07:46 PM

Well I used to have a lot more gear. I learned a valuable lesson, when you are dating someone and you have the 'BIG FIGHT' and you decide to tell her how you really feel.....

make sure you have all your fishing gear, camping gear, stainless steel grill and tools out of her garage!

I learned the hard way and now I am rebuilding.

WTL · 04-01-08, 10:35 PM

Ouch Douger, not good. Reminds me of some of those LEVIs ads where its the same type deal, but the guy always comes back to get his jeans.

Me thinks this forum needs to plan a special ops mission into Douger's ex's garage.

DOUGER · 04-02-08, 10:14 AM

I appreciate the thought, but I even tried warming back up to that woman to try and see what I could get back out of the deal. She sold everything she could and threw out the rest.

Needless to say the relationship was way beyond repair after that.

I guess I could have sued her in small claims but I would have a hard time proving the stuff I lost.

But hey, married now to a woman that likes to fish so it worked out better anyway

Coulda been worse, I coulda ended up married to the nutcase and still had my stuff...... NAH! I came out on the better end of that deal.

Bob Smith · 04-02-08, 12:57 PM

Douger, that reminds me of that insurance commercial that has been running lately where the gal chunks all of the boyfriends stuff (including the couch) out the window of a three story building onto his car in the street! Bummer!

toneyoutdoors.com · 04-02-08, 01:45 PM

A man can never have to much fishing equipment.

jasonfish320 · 04-02-08, 02:23 PM

This thread got me thinkin' bout my own insurance and I recently switched to Boat U.S., which actually is a whole lot better than my previous, they covered my boat, trailer, engine, electronics and even tackle and the cool part is each has a specific deductible...for a total loss you pay a $500 deductibe, but if you have your rods & tackle stolen it's like $200 for $5,000 worth of coverage, and your electronics are the same as your tackle..I need that coverage with the addition of the 997 SI..which I might add is the most ridiculous piece of fishing equipment you could ever ask for..it's hard to fish with this I could just drive around the lake and watch this thing like t.v. for 8 hours straight..anyways thought I'd share

BigBassin144 · 04-02-08, 06:21 PM

There ya go. There's not much more import than fishing tackle. I'd sue [sp?] her for what all the stuff costed and buy more!

BigBassin144 · 04-02-08, 06:22 PM

I wonder if the red on the side of the boat will help him catch fish?!
