Keeping your tackle hidden from wifee?

[Grandpa]

I tell my wife everything I buy, which she feels I would not do unless we could afford it, which is true.

However, I find that when I am telling her about a new reel or pole I bought as I am giving her a new pair of earrings or necklace she never asks what I paid for anything.

[Fishing Cowgirl]

Pffft! No need to hide anything. We fish together ALL the time, and often share tackle. She spends more on tackle than me! ;D

My husband would Ditto this.. ;D

[Fishing Cowgirl]

It could be worse........she could fish, too.

I spend at least twice as much at the tackle store with her than without her. Women have no natural defense against the bait monkey. :-?

"guilty"

[northern basser]

I'm never getting married haha

Good idea

[BASSINATORBIGJOE]

Pleeeeeeez.......Mike 8-)

No need to hide anything from the missus. Unless I go overboard she ain't gonna care. She really don't care what is in the tackle box anyway.

[vapredhunter]

Ok guys so I don't hide anything from my wife. But when I'm dead and gone if she sells all my fishing and hunting crap for what I told her I paid for it. :

Then all my fishing and hunting buddies are going to walking around with big smiles like they just hit the lottery. 8-)

d**n I hate to miss a good sale

I'm the boss in my house so I don't have to hide anything from my wife. Ooops here she comes gotta go.

That's funny! I have been able to squeeze in some things by selling some stuff from my other hobby, music. I don't necessarily try to hide stuff, but I do pay for as much as I can in cash. No paper trail. It also helps to justify it in her terms: focus on how much I saved by buying it on sale.

I generally keep my "fun money" seperate from the household money, especially since I haven't held a full-time job in close to two years. If I find something that I want, I just sell a few of my "extras" to cover it.

Think of it this way, your friends will always remember you, course not sure you want them to look back on your death as a good thing. lol.

[Redlinerobert]

Never marry.   Besieds, if I ever did, I'd make sure to include all my tackle in the prenup. 

[TrippyJai]

I don't need to hide anything from my girlfriend although she does get annoyed when I continue to spend money on baits every time I'm at BPS or the local tackle shop.

I actually don't think it's THAT bad although I'll admit that I won't use them up in my life time. I don't have other hobbies so a few hundred bucks a year ain't so bad.

I can't remember my wife ever complaining more than just a comment like. " Don't you have one of those. "

[jwtrader]

I have a small room in my basement that is solely dedicated to fishing tackle- and I need a whole room. My wife would kill me if she ever went down there. To hide all this, I always make sure the first few feet of the basement are a little messy. Now, she never goes in the basement. How do all of you keep the gear hidden?

I dont hide my gear from my wife, she was there when I bought 4 Skeet ease polls, 3 Abu Garcia Reveo SX-HS bait casters, a new spinning real, and $350 worth of tackle.......18 YEARS OF MARRIAGE, NEVER HIDE ANYTHING FROM THEM...JUST MY OPINION

Luckily i have an understanding wife. For those of you that are not so fortunate maybe you can stash it small piles around the garage and the house, so at least when she stumbles upon your tackle it wont look massive and cause a fight.

[Sherlock 60]

I don't go snooping around in her closet and she doesn't go in my tackle box

Same here. She used to comment occasionally on all my stuff till I pointed out the hundreds of fabric samples she has for quilting that she will probably never use.

[Mudwalker]

My wife is the one who has to hide her tackle from me!

[laus]

Cool, Mudwalkr! True for me too. If somebody loves ya, what's the problem, really??

[Maico1]

What is to hide....My wife has a Griffon Zero attached to her key ring......She loves Megabass.

[JaxBasser]

My wife doesn't care what I spend my money on or how much crap I have. If she did she would probably kill me considering the amount of money I spend on fishing tackle, electronics, and gaming gear.

[Raider Nation Fisher]

I believe my wife is just happy its not guns anymore. We both have money for ourselves for the week so she really doesn't care what I spend it on as long as I don't spend over what I have.

[NorcalBassin]

I fortunately don't have to hide any tackle, but I don't mind when she's gone when the UPS guy drops of my orders from TW! Only problem for the tackle junkies is that she has every right to spend the same amount as we do on anything she wants (and we think is a waste of money just like she does with all the fishing tackle/gear).

Get your wife involved in scrapbooking. I couldnt possibly spend as much as her now that she scrapbooks. That hobby makes fishing look like kindergarden!

What delusion brings you to believe that she doesn't know?

[dulouz]

My wife was venting about my spending to the wife of one of my mentors and she replied regarding her husband, "It keeps him happy and out of the house, so I don't mind."
