I do the same :-) the only problem is I don't sell the old stuff and the wife is owa the moon ( NOT )
I just tell her it's part of fishing lol
I am a fisherman !
It is not merely something that I do
It is who I am !
Fishing is not simply my escape.
It is where I am supposed to be.
It is not a place that I go
But a lifelong journey that I am taking
It is a passage that was shown to me and that I will continue to show others.
When you understand all of this you will then know me .
And we will fish together
There have been advances certainly with the clothing and boots over the years and headlamps have become lighter and brighter but have the rods and reels really improved that much for the average fisherman?
I have tons of gear but it is basically because I have the money to spend on my hobby/pastime, there is no way I would skint myself for the latest model of anything.

like philysafc,i to still got loads of gear i wont sell on.scarbourgh reels,bell for rod tip/wicker tackle box/bamboo rod rest/tilley lamp/miners lamp/yellow oilskins,to name a few haha.it all done the job,but got to admit most new gear is alot more advanced,so i suppose well just have to keep up with the times.that reminds me im looking for 1 of them funny shaped buttens for my old duffel coat.
I guess just because we get older, doesnt mean we get more sensible, a hobby is a hobby, and whether its fishing, shooting, metal detecting, boats, etc, there are always new toys to play with......I like toys ....Cant wait for Santa to arrive....
