Anecdotes and learnings from our years elbow-deep in fishing reels...  ;)

"The size of the part is inversely proportional to the distance it travels when it hits the floor."

Feel free to add your own...

Looking forward to the enlightenment.  ;D

Murphy's Law applies here on a regular basis.........   :-[

WOW!!! WHAT A RIDE!

Good call Nessie - so true.
And another, which always happens around the beginning of spring:

"The less time I have to service reels, the more reels I have to service."

And one from last night:

"The rarer the part, the more likely it is to break."

Hows about...

When disassembling or reinstalling...theres always "one".... theres gotta be that "one" to make things difficult.  :P

The moment you stalk up on one particular part, all the reels that come in somehow needs other parts except the one you stalked up on.  :-\  :o

Good post Justin.
Here is mine: Although we don't need it we need to have it ;)
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Wife: "Why do you need so many fishing reels?"  Me: "Cause I only have one wife"

It is better to have and not need, than it is to need and not have.

Why does my nose itch now?
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
