[QUOTE="KDM, post: 213022, member: 314"] My older, but very serviceable stuff usually gets donated to the good will store so they can sell it. I have also, on occasion, been known to see youngsters muddin' on the river with less than optimal equipment or tackle and just go over and hand them stuff to use. Most try to give back what I give them when they leave, which is amazing and gives me hope for the future, but light up when I tell them to just keep it. I've spooled quite a few reels with new line for kids when I see them cast a slinky instead of fishing line. The looks on their faces is priceless. I just gave away my old compound bow to a 10 year old who's father is taking it to scheels to have it tuned, turned down, and serviced so his son can practice with it this summer. The look on that kids face when he looked at his father as if to ask "Can I have it?" was awesome. It opens some space in the garage for me and the kids learn lessons about decency and good behavior. Win/Win as far as I'm concerned. [/QUOTE]
