[cool][#0000ff]I really DO have a lot of stuff. But, it is the end result of being a serious fisherman for over 60 years, a float tuber for over 50 years, a fly tier and fly fisherman for over 50 years and a rod builder and custom lure maker for about 40 years. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Having lived, worked and fished over the entire USA and into Canada, Alaska and Mexico I have had the NEED for a wide range of tackle and lures. These days I do not use much of what I have owned and used in the past and I have "downloaded" much more than what you see in the pictures. I have kids and grandkids that now own a lot of what I used to have, and I am always trading, buying and selling other stuff.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I really don't have a difficult time justifying all those goodies. My wife and I fish a lot and use a lot of it, on a wide variety of waters and different species. Plus, we have a group of regular fishing partners who buy or trade for some of the things I make that they cannot get anywhere else. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]And, as my wife tells people...it "keeps me off the streets and out of trouble" (mostly).[/#0000ff]
