You know you're a reel head when... You use the same toothbrush to brush your teeth as you do to smear grease on a reel  Dom |

You know off the top of your head what Penn reels take the same drag size. When you loose track of what you've bought and the packages coming from FleaBa, Alan, and Smooth Drag are a suprise. When you buy reels and have them stacked 3-4 deep that you will use someday.  -g |

You are taking a shower and think about reel designs and modifications.
You see a brand new reel series and think about modifying it.

There's always the oldie but goodie, "I hope when I'm gone, my heirs sell my reel and parts collection for what it's worth, NOT what I told my wife I paid for it."

This thread made me laugh, at first, then I thought... Why did I go to buy black paint to fix a scratch on my car and come home with gold paint to match a scratch on my Tiagra? Oh dear  |

....When you can pinpoint the exact price a reel will sell for on Ebay days before the auction ends.
....When you catch yourself saying to...yourself, "wow, that guy really overpaid for that reel. It was only worth $62, not $63.50"
And this brings me to a favorite saying by Mr. Winston Churchill talking about a fellow statesman that he didn't care for:
"He has none of the vices that I admire, and all of the virtues that I despise" Or something like that. Certainly taking apart reels is a vice worth having...no?

The wife bought two battery operated tooth brushes for her and I and I had to remark “those would be great for cleaning reels” the look she gave my said it all.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

If your wife recognizes the type of lubricant you just got done putting on your reel like a fragrance.
