Like floats, most takle is designed to catch fishermen, not fish!
I downsized a couple of years ago. My 'better half passed comment only last week, when we went fishing together that I went to the lake in one trip ( the rivers are too low and clear at the moment - thats why I went to a lake) she took 3 trips!!!!!!!!!
Even having downsized I still take bits of 'junk' with me - my current bag is the size of a small creel. I will get round to a rod/ landing net / bait bucket ( literally an old bakers jam bucket) and waist coat by the end of the year!
The fishing shed is much downsized now as well, but I hate to get rid of rods and reels they all seem to be associated with memorable days or fish, however I have vowed to give the 'surplus' to a kids section sometime soon - awwwwww its my sensitve side coming out!
You know what? I feel so much better not having an Alladins Cave of tackle - give it a go, you know it makes sense.
KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid is a good motto.
