Hi Guys,

Here is how I have to store reels for now. I have better in mind, but it would certainly help to see how you guys do it!

Regards,
Clinton

Clinton:

If you'd get rid of all that junk on the top shelf you'd have a lot more space...

. I especially like the careful storage on the rug!

Come on Pete. The guy's gotta eat! There is enough stuff there to cook a dozen meals. By the way, Clinton, I will trade you a #707 for that George Forman Grill or the Mixer and the Bowl!
(Just kidding, can't cook anyway!)

I don't see anything wrong with that. At my house my wife says anything displayed has to be dusted weekly so mine are hid all over the house. Dan U

USA You lucky people! My wife will not tolerate any reels on the main floor! period! Of course I have 90% control of the (RAR HOLE) ha ha , As for dusting? do you have a maid to do that? I had a few except the wife wouldnt server them lunch! Now when things get hectic and too much complaining on the main Floor, Gues who has the air conditioning and furnace with shut off switches? yup the RAT HOLE! Clinton I hope you dont sleep walk as your toes may bend a reel handle Darn that could get expensive! as for cooking do you make the reels do the pots and pans and dishes? And why dust just get a big fan open the door and POFFF the dust goes outside, ahh live is great and good LONG LIVE THE REEL COLECTORS your Ohio Conection On Lake ERIE Col. M. Lorens aka SWIM JIG

Clinton, I think a couple-a reels in those glass jars would be neat. If you were to fill one of them with a whole bunch of reels, you could label it "For bad case of reel-itis, take one a day". Now, if someone could show us a "reel in a bottle"

now that would be something incredible. Hey Milt, how good are you at re-assembling reels with long tweezers!

Nice display, obviously you need a bigger house preferably near a lake so you can use some of those reels. I on the other hand am like the Col. and have control of the entire basement where none dare tread unless they wish to be told of my many fishing exploits. Canadian

cool-thumb yay-banana Canadian USA Brian, its easy you cut the botle in half and put a reel in it! Or get a Glass blower to do it. as for asembling with long twezers? NUTS to that. Tony I let her majesty into the RAT HOLE as thats where the washer and Dryer are and of cours I let her run those items as well as the wet mop and sweeping of the floor! As for my fishing stories? I do one beter, I clean them in the sink in the kitchen and ler her watch! She likes yellow perch so as we are only allowed 30 a day in OHIO she must put them up and or bread them and fry them , as for those 11lb waleye well I do those! rules of the RAT HOLE , 1 no tv allowed, 2 no scrubing floors or washing clothes when I work on reels, no ironing or washing windows while I ocupy the RAT HOLE, and the main one I AM KING! period in the Rat Hole! As for desplaying reels etc? well i am starting to run out of room, maybe I will do like CLINTON use the kitchen! ha ha , Your Ohio Conection on Lake ERIE at 88 degress Col. M. lorens aka SWIM JIG

Hi Clinton / All,
Nice collection CB. Right, the storaging is always a compromise ... between you own needs and wishes and your wife's opinion on that what ever collection you've got it should have been trashed long ago

Daaarn - only four years ago when I was single, my entire condo had fishing stuff (mainly ABU) scattered all over the place. No dusting every week back then I tell you. Oh no! But it was a very cozy athmosphere - or caughfy athmosphere *lol*

Nowadays it's different, but I've managed to get me a RAT HOLE like Col. I'ts in the old cabin's livingroom. Not as big as I would have wanted it to be (would have wanted the whole house!) but it'll do for now. The deal was NO FISHING GEAR in the new cabin so that's how it is in good old Denmark. It could be worse so I'm not complaining (yet

).
My display is somewhat crippled. Since moving up here in Nov.'04 my stuff is all packed away in big boxes for storage at my old folks place. Talking abt it - I better go do the rat hole more ratty than sitting here writing to you guys

C'mon guys, lets see how it's supposed to be done! I'm trying to get some ideas. (I guess it's a good thing I moved the cat's litter box before I took the picture)

Regards,
Clinton

As a new member I am learning from all of you ... I have amassed a bunch of reels, no set type. Just love messing with them.
Below is pics of maybe an eighth of them.

Sorry, forgot to sign in. Big Lou here, with the reels in a case.

Bill Muth · Post by **Bill Muth** » Wed Jun 29, 2005 8:06 pm

My "fishing room" doesn't always look like this, I just did a MAJOR cleaning. The nearly empty case at the end used to be full of lures. It is now waiting for boxed reels from Horton Mfg. Co. Please sell or trade me for them! Have some closer-up pics of the cases if anyone wants to see them.

Haven't learned all about pic post yet.

clinton_beeler · Post by **clinton_beeler** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:16 am

Now I'm impressed! Didn't anyone ever make a whiskey bottle in the shape of a reel?

I can see that I'm going to be doing some re-arranging this weekend.

Thanks,
Clinton

Jim Schottenham · Post by **Jim Schottenham** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 5:25 pm

Steve was right, I removed these pic's. While I'm not as neat as Harvey or Bill, I do have most of my stuff on display.

I think I've outgrown the Indiana case...

The Sides

More "stuff"

room with a view...of more tackle

It won't be long before I need the kitchen area too, so let's see what you decide to do Clinton!

Bill!

I have to come over to YOUR house one of these days!

Jim, my favorite tackle shop is like your room; it has surprises hiding everywhere!

I'll have to rotate my own stock sometime soon.

clinton_beeler · Post by **clinton_beeler** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 7:36 pm

OK Forget re-arranging...I need to remodel! I thought about an assault on the kitchen but I don't know what I'd do without food. The display cases are great! This was what I wanted to see.

Regards,
Clinton

Reelman · Post by **Reelman** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 9:20 pm

Here are some of mine. We live in a old pre 1850's farm house and needs lots of work

I need a maid to come in and dust and rearrange. Just run out of space in this room.

Impressive, Merv! Ever think about opening a museum in E. Troy? Are all of the Kalamazoo and Kiest tins in another room?

Yes those are in another room.
