How many reels do y'all have? I probably have about 75. All users or eventual users.

Tough enough to count rods but at least they're mostly in racks on the walls (except for several in a corner) reels have such odd shapes yet they fit together in a pile so well.

Nothing good can come from counting my reels, and nothing in my marriage vows says I gotta limit myself  :d

My reel inventory is basically a life form.

It constantly changes and is impossible to put a number on.

I am at least 3/4 of the way to 1K. I probably would be there by now if it wasn't for the current economic times & admin eating up 20% of everything I worked my entire life to accumulate.   ??? I've only bought 4 or 5 reels in the last 3 years. :(
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Don't ask, don't tell. 

Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

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

61, if I counted right. Got the 2 in each of my vehicles and the fidget one on my desk. Oh wait! Ha!, just gotta keep thinkin, the Swami sent me a nice condition Sailfisher and it's in parts for cleaning, 62.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

Sixtyish, plus some parts reels or reels I hope to eventually fix up but are not usable right now. Out of the 60+, all are users and none are shelfies; a handful I do not use very often and probably should move out.

Mebbe 630. When I build out all the parts Ted just sent me, it will go up by a lot of jigmasters.

It depends how you wanna count, and who is asking. But if I gave you a number I'd be guessing.

I definitely have enough. But there's still a few I want.

Reels are like guns, it's best not to count, and better not to know.
Buy it nice or buy it twice.

I started counting once in my shop attic I have a rod rack up there for least used combos. By the time I got down to the shop floor I was thirsty & stopped counting.The rack on the shop floor is full.I have one in each vehicle,4 hefty totes full & some on display.7 on the floating dock,2 on golf cart,3 in garage .One day I may count & make a spreadsheet with photos so the vintage reels value will be appreciated ,when I go to that Crystal river.I rather spend my time fishing though,than counting :fish
