My technique is simple ,i go in the shop and buy it.Not her business and she couldnt care less how many rods and gadgets i have as long as it makes me happy.On the other hand she can go shoeshopping on my credit card any time.
As Greg put it you poor blokes ,do you have to ask for permission to go fishing too?

At Heaven's gate a soldier stood,
his story ready to tell,
St Peter said, 'no need my son all is understood,
Go right in cos you've already served your time in Hell'
Hows it going guys
I have the problem that my missus reckons one rod does everything she doesnt understand that a surf rod is useless for boat work and vise versa plus she cant understand why my 2kg sp estuary rig wont cut the mustard offshore
its an uphill battle every time i need (want) more gear
hey fellas. i am only 15 and i already have 12 high end combos. no mrs yet but mum is on my back
cheers Daniel
My better half has just bought me/let me buy a bear metal and a bear B6-6, now all I need to do is point her at the new carado 300 I want to go on the B6 and wait and see if it turns up for chrissy.
Cheers Ian
Buy the combo, wrap and put under the xmas tree with a tag addressed to you from santa, then blame santa. No problem.
Jeff.
P.S. Santa's bringing me an Egrell S10/Daiwa Certate 4000 combo.

Quality is still delivering long after you have forgotten the price.

Bundylundy thats a pisser i might just try that and see if i get away with it
I have a different problem, mine rides horses and I use the excuse you can't use the same saddle for every style of riding and every horse as they're all different so she agrees with our rod and reel principle.
But when we go fishing she likes my curado 300 reel and raider impoundment barra rod so much she wants to swap and I'm stuck with a pink ugly stick for the rest of the day.
LMFAO - this is a great thread, most blokes are in the same boat ( or dog-house ) I reckon. My Angel is well past trying to talk sense or reason with me...... I use the "buy it now and take the heat later" method. That way when I get sent to the dog-house, I just grab my shiny new rod or combo and go fishin.
BTW - She has been given 2 combo's for birthdays before and has only ever been fishing with me once. If you must take her fishing, go where there is absolutely no chace of getting even a nibble, that way they get bored out of their brains, and never want to go with you again.
Maybe we should chip in a couple of bucks each & build a shed in a central location to hide all the toys we shouldn't have. It could become a shrine to worship the fishing Gods.
Naturally it would have to include the compulsory bar, dart board & pool table.
WTFH
You blokes have got it all wrong. Take your wife out, put her onto some good fishing and she will be hooked for life. To make it a bigger problem she will often land more and better fish on this gear than I do.

None of them will complain about much about wearing 10 grands worth of useless rock on their finger . Having 50 + rods well thats just being prepared in case of emergency.
Good to know its not just me and my wife. That scenario sounds strangely familiar.

Our biggest problem is having to buy 2 of eveything.
