you know what, last night my wife pointed out to me... apparently she's getting smart and went down to my boat and looked at the 5 rod/reels sitting in there that I take with me (boat has been parked in my spot in the garage since I got it back in august). She just came down while I was watching TV last night to ask how much I've spent over the years on those rods... I told her I've had all of them since before we were together (pre 2004)... she corrected me with the alphas ito saying it was a 2005 model, as well as 2 of the other ones. Then she said I got the drop shot not too long ago because of the date on it... (seh did her homework before I knew there would be a pop quiz) anyways, she says I've got over $2,000 in those 5 rod and reel setups.. I almost puked.
I did manage to tell her that I don't have but maybe $700 in all of them and it's true - I bought a lot of them from a pawn shop, still new with tags and never used - he had no idea what he was holding on to. Some guy put them up for collateral and never came back so I took advantage and gave the guy $300 which is what he had tied up in them... but it still makes me sick to my stomach to know that I've got that much in them... and here I am wanting to get another rod/reel setup for jigs - that one will likely cost 3-400 bucks too - if I get what I want that is.
