My Truck and the suit I have to wear to work the next day care about smelling like an eel --

Its bad enough some mornings I get in my truck with my suit on and my seat is soaked from my waders the night before from moving spot to spot.

I rinse all my gear down, but only to get the salt off... I don't worry about the slime, but my car reeks of a combination of waders/drytop and fish slime. Like all odors, you eventually get used to it, but everytime I get into my car after a night of fishing its like "wow"

.

My wife hates taking my car and she even recommended that I buy a little truck. If I only had some spare money that would be a great idea.

Bryan and I had a discussion some nights back about "stinky trucks" Both our women hate the smell of our trucks. Thing is, I keep my eels in a Igloo cooler in the truck. I'm starting to think that one escaped and died somewhere in the truck.

U would know it if one escaped they can be real fowl.I had one pull a houdini act out of my tub in the garage.It took me 2 tweeks of hell to find him.
Seal skin socks i wear in my boots when I wetsuit are some of the worst smelling things in the world.I just throw everything in a tub an close it up.I buy air freshners in little tubs.So the truck smells like a french whorehose in the fish market district.all spring we where doing evenings an first lights.Nothing like putting on wet stinky gear at 430am.
