Gentlemen- You guys missed the boat (So to speak)) on how to work the onslaught of lure delivery vehicles parading and lining up outside your homes! The best girl I found and am with now accepts lures as gifts so I address them all to her and she puts them in Plano clear boxes under titles such as plop plop baits, jewelry (Cowgirls), and ducks (Crankbaits). When I'm hooking up the boat I ask if She can load up HER baits so I can try them out and she loads them all up! So not only does she enjoy receiving, opening, and putting away HER baits neatly in Plano boxes but she loads them up and enjoys telling everyone that I catch all my fish on her baits! To top it off she doesn't even fish! She just sits in the back and sunbathes, reads books, and is a beautiful net girl that hasn't flubbed a net job yet! My advice pick an intelligent one that likes to be quiet in the boat for hours and send her all the lures and gear etc. Just sayin'
This is rare but last spring I did bust my wife on the phone with Brian Boyum from Beavers baits and she was ordering like $350 worth of custom color baits for herself. I have to intervene or it would have been more. |

Location: Neapolitan Chain Of Lakes | Hahaha! That's a good one Kirby the ultimate role reversal! I'm on the phone with Brian every year as well placing an order for some customs and of course they're addressed to my girl. The decorum of this forum won't allow me to tell you how she labels them on the Plano boxes but lets just say it's not "Hello Kitty"! Lol

| The concept of asking permission to spend ones money has always amazed me. |

Location: West Central WI | My wife and I each have our own checking accounts where money is deposited each month for personal purchases. This is in addition to our joint account where we pay the bills and other expenses. With our two accounts we don't care what the other does and don't need to ask permission of the other to spend it. There are no arguments and no guilt about spending the money. Out of mine, I purchase fishing equipment, including baits, boat upgrades, fishing trip to LOTW, and supplies to build muskie poles. This year, I'll have enough in that account to upgrade to a Helix 10 sonar, although I'll settle for a gen 3 side and down imaging system. I'm retired and it took a lot of years to be in this position, but it has worked wonders.

Location: Brighton CO. | Never been married , Bought a lot of stuff for my dad and my nephew my dad is dead and my nephew is married so now I get to fish myself. My mom likes to come on trips but won't go out in the boat. my mom is 86 and I hope she lives till 102.
Had a buddy make the mistake of hanging all his lures in the rafters of his wife's washing machine room. After seeing all the lures and what they cost he knew he blew it. |

Location: West Central WI | My wife and i each have our own separate checking account for our own use without having to ask or answer to the other. These are in addition to our joint account which takes care of everything else. Our separate accounts are for fun or for gifts to the other. All my fishing gear and parts for fishing rod building come out of my account so there's never an issue. I'm currently saving up for a new Helix 10. |
