I did this so you don't have to

Vacuumed the carpet today. Got too close to my rod rack. One reel had a couple of inches of leader exposed. Before I realized what was going on half of the fly line was sucked up into the vacuum cleaner.

Sorry to laugh at you but that was funny and something I can see myself doing

Look at it this way... you got confirmation you loosened your drags before putting the rig away.

[Mr T]

Thats what ya get for cleaning...

You're not the first one to have done this.............. at least it sounds like you didn't break a rod

I heard a story that a wife had pulled off some of a guys fly line and cut it to use to tie up her tomato plants.

He was real mad and she said "you never complained before when I use line off your fishing outfit to tie up my vegetables?"

He said "but I was not fly fishing then"........

Was it a keeper vacuum, or did you have to release it?

[EricO]

Funny story....thanks for the morning chuckle. I bet getting the flyline out was a real pain.
Was it a Dyson or a Hoover? :)

[NCL]

Is that a new line cleaning method?

[JayDubP]

Yep, I can see myself doing something similar.

Thanks for making my day.
