Today when putting up Christmas decorations my Mrs discovered that my fishing tackle actually did have a use after all. She used some of my leader to hang stars all over the flippin place.

Got me wondering if you or someone in your house had ever found a use for your tackle other than what it's intended for?

My wife uses my fishing tackle to blackmail me into buy her shoes/boots, assorted footwear, big handbags and occasionally outerwear.

A mate of mine thinks that an airflo 40+ is only any good for tying up runner beans in the garden

Airflo floating lines make great strimmer line .

For the uninitiated, the Airflo 40+ is a great line for night time sea trout fishing - turns over bulky flies like surface lures etc ... check out some of the knowledge available on the more informed Sea Trout forums.

I have an old Pezon & Michel cane rod that is great for poking down the drains when they get blocked. It's a 7-weight which is much better than the light stuff for that sort of work.

However, the thread is about what other people use your tackle for, so that's not really to the point.

My wife sometimes uses my Pezon & Michel cane rod to hang her white blouses on to help them dry.
