Grow some balls and tell her your keeping both. Your hardly going to gain any space by getting rid of either but if your that scared of her a pod is more versatile and its all ive used for 30 years. I would personally pack my wifes suitcase if she said i had to get rid of any of my gear.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Sheds are unsafe. Tell her it's unsafe to leave any tackle in the shed, take it indoors and let her put her valuables in the shed

Pods for nods . . . .that's why I've used one since time began . . .

Anyone who lines up single sticks with a spirit level all in a little row with handles folded is the real nod - IMHO. Time spent with a bait out of the water must be ridiculous just to get it looking good. . .

Korda Singlez were marketed to alleviate this pain but its just solving a problem that doesn't exist . . .with a pod.

Do use single sticks occasionally - usually when splitting up rods that are pointing in all directions / to snags and / or using a sly in the margins . . .on this basis keep them all!

Hi

"Just sorting my shed and need to minimise(wife words) my gear"
I was asked exactly the same thing many years ago.
I believe my response was along the lines of......
"No problem, we can also do a shoe and handbag inventory next weekend"
Not heard a mention on either subject since

Best

Get you loft boarded out and stick it all up there.

Keep the ladder in the shed, that way no discussions as it will be out of sight out of mind 😉

What a nightmare when you want to go fishing.

Slim your kit down improve your mobility and spoil your wife. You could really go the whole hog and sell all your gear and become as slave to her ever whim.

I don't have a wife, my partner has her own pad, NOT pod.

I've used a pod for 30 years so wouldn't dream of faffing about with sticks.

I told my Mrs there are rats in the shed. I can keep what I like in there now.
