recycling for me.
I rarely buy high end reels and I get my use outta the ones I buy.
most my reels perform awesome with exception being ice fishing reels. I could careless if a $25 dollar reel craps out on me after two or three seasons.
I might keep the boxes however if I had the room.
I hate stuff lying around taking up space however. ask my better half. all her work trips mean garbage clean up for me. bags and bags and bags lol
this usually means alot of donations too.
I learned one thing though, DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, THROW AWAY CANNING MATERIALS.
her foot came down purdy hard on that one
