HY DID THE COLLECTOR cross the road? The short answer that I don’t know, but they were probably in search of a holy grail of some kind. Either that, or they needed to get to their psychologist’s appointment. As anglers, we are all collectors of sorts, and are all after our own personal holy grail. No matter whether we’re collecting fantastic captures, unforgettable memories, beautiful sunrises, rods, reels, bite alarms, bobbins, or combinations of everything, we’re still collectors, and some of us get utterly obsessive about it.
