Fishing Rods
Freshwater fishing’s finest!
My ex husband bought me my very first Ugly Stick back when we used to be in love. And that’s a good indication of how he felt about me.

One time I was stuck in a Bass Pro for FOUR hours cause he couldn’t decide which St. Croix to buy. He’s a picky brat so I know these are top notch.

Reels fit for a Royal (pain)
Abu Garcia reels were a favorite of my exes. I don’t understand a bait caster and why it’s so difficult to cast, but he really liked his.

An absolute favorite of my exes.

Yup, you guessed it. Part of that FOUR hour Bass Pro trip. He really liked this one and when I’d get a birds nest it was time to row in.

“I love my Pflueger” he said as he was packing up his belongings in the divorce.

Make the fish bite 🪝
I made my ex husband buy these because I knew if I were a fish I would eat them. Needless to say he had a very lucky day when he used them. Let’s pretend he said thank you.
Reaction Innovations Sweet Beaver the first creature bait.
Ahh, the spinnerbait. This is the brand of lure my ex husband flipped our boat trying to recover. Does he love them more than he ever loved me? You betcha.

I called this one his “MURSE” for Man Purse! And as much as I wanna make fun of it, it held everything he could ever want to bring, and it held some things I wanted to bring, like bug spray.

A must have for catch and release!

My ex used to lie about a lot of things, especially when it came to measuring things for some strange reason. This will help to dispel any doubts of the size of the fish caught.

My ex thought he looked really cool when he was wearing these. He loved that they were polarized and would even offer for me to wear them so I could see the fish in the water. I dig them.

I would always wind up casting into the trees or somehow getting a birds nest so my ex-husband and I got this so I could fish for different kinds of treasures.

I gotta say I always hoped my ex husband would catch a mermaid or something cool.
But no, forever a disappointment, he only caught a lot of bait.

I would laugh when he would accidentally hook himself. Yes I’m evil, but anyway, very sharp.
