This afternoon, I was in the process of putting some new and different lines on a couple of reels/rods. I recalled a long discussion on another board that listed some of the ways people keep track of which line is on a reel.
After a few weeks, I am guilty of not remembering the strength and details of many of my reel sets.
I have a cheap label-maker. I decided to make up labels and put them UNDER the reel seat. That worked, except for the one baitcaster that had a split reel seat. The label wouldn't stick on the metal that was left. In that case, I put the label on the rod. I know it should be with the reel, but I usually leave the same reel on the same rod for a long time. Since it is exposed to the weather and my greasy hands, I added a piece of scotch tape over the label. The same system works on my golf clubs.
Anyhow, thought I'd share.
p.s. I also included a shot of my "fish-mobile" rod storage. They stay there 24/7 unless I have to take a bunch of people somewhere. Even in those cases, if they are close friends, they know the rods will be riding along.
