Hiding or justifying new rods, reels and tackle from the wife is becoming more and more difficult. For me, hiding them is super hard because they are on display in the corner of the dining room. I refuse to put by babies in the garage or boat locker .
So, with that being said, I came up with the idea of having a Voucher's Club. I don't condone lying to your wife but there comes a time when we have to help out our brother fisherman. It's not like you're telling the wife your employer is sending you out of town for the week for some kind of training, but instead you head out on a fishing adventure with your buddies.
What I'm suggesting is this. Whenever you get a new rod or reel, tell the wife you BORROWED it from one of the members on BR. You can throw out one of the BR Voucher's Club members name. Your wife can even contact the "lender" for verification. This should work for 1 or 2 good purchases a year, unless the wife keeps track on how long you keep the "borrowed" rod/reel. If that's the case, then we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
I'm not saying this will work for everyone or on every wife. Some wives are pretty smart and can't be fooled. My idea won't work if you and your wife share the same bank account or if she has access to your account . My wife doesn't share my bank account so it's a little easier for me to hide my money, just not my gear.
So, what do yall think? Will my idea be something that can work?
