Last night I opened up a reel and found this! What is the strangest thing you have found in a reel?

Kinda looks like onea those marine ecto-parasites you sometimes see on the outside a fish(gills or skin).
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Looks like the good kind of cockroach, a dead one

Not My reel. lol In for repair. Reel is in a zip lock bag for now. I know that bug is long dead but still kinda unsettling. Should I let the owner know I found it or never mention it?

I wouldn't mention it to the owner. Nothing good will come of that. It looks like a cockroach to me, but I can't tell the size. Bedbugs are small, less than a cm long.

So I'm assuming you got the bugs out of the reel.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I also found a giant ball of hair. It was like the size of a golf ball.
