    Thumbs up 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.

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

    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?

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