dylzzz69 95 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Not sure if I'm too obsessed with my fishing gear but I do take really good care of them so I can pass down to my next generation. But I do have names for my babies! Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem?! surely I'm not the only crazy one on here Back left is "PENNY" - penn 6500sv LL. still a virgin too but i'll keep trying! "Liz" the stradic. First fish I caught on it was a lizard (flathead) Poor girl needs to go back to the shimano warehouse under warranty as is a little sick and under 2 yrs old! "Cedar" the 360 penn slammer. That's my daughters reel she uses all the time, so easy for kids to use and can cop a belting when she drops it more often than not, Cedar is her best friend in town "Ray" the fin nor, Couple of mate Ryan and Jay organised this fishing reel for me through a good tackle shop so put the names together Also caught a 10kg+ stinga on it the other day! Good fun with 20lb line. And the one and only "KELLY" Named after my best mates wife who talked me into buying a stella! It's an "investment" he said! Well it bloody better be mate! Merry xmas dyl! Have got names for the rods they go on too but even I can't remember all the names of them hanging up in my shed! Lines tight Dyl Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I don't name my gear, but I do talk to it, and I also talk to fish. I'm not mentally unbalanced or anything....yet, I just really get into my fishing, and love getting all intimate with a fish and cuddling it while I gently remove the hooks. I think you will find quite a few fish crazies on this site. Though I have given up licking windows, even though it tastes nice..... dylzzz69 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MiSCrEANT 53 Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I like having, buying and looking after gear but I don't really don't get to the level that I name them. Seems extremely materialistic to me. To me, fishing tackle is a tool, and nothing else. It's just that some tools are better than other tools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
