I will have the same problem. My son now has absolutely no interest in fishing and when Connor suddenly discovers that some of his mates are developing bumps on their chests, he could lose interest too.
I just hope my wife doesn't sell it for the price I told her I'd bought it for.
I do keep a spreadsheet of all my main items to be used as a guide to help my son launch them on Ebay with guide prices to put in the listings. Being a computer genious now, he should crack the six levels of security codes and encryption I have put on it to stop the wife finding out.
I'd like one rod, could be the cheapest, to be held back for my funeral. I want to be stretched out in my boat Viking style clutching the rod and after chucking three gallons of unleaded all over me, light it up and push it into the Thames. In the evening twilight at least it would give the people of Marlow something to watch on an otherwise boring night.
Then again - This idea of having a central collection depot for sorting, storing and reselling tackle for bereaved relatives (especially expensive barbel rods) could well be Deanos new business plan!
