    I took a drill bit, intended for drilling through metal, I believe 1/4" in diameter. I used just the tip of that to drill shallow depressions around the outside of the spool of my reel, and also a few spots on each cookie and arrow. It took very little time, and makes it very easy to tactily identify my directional gear.

    One easy way that I've seen is to drill pattern of holes in your arrows and cookies.

    I pee on mine...

    On a more serious note, I engrave my initials into the corners of my arrows and "marchand" across the center of my cookies.
    If you have to ask you probably shouldn't be servicing your own bolt snaps.

    that *is* really easy if you have a drill, but at the time i was marking mine i didn't.

    I just use wooden clothespins with my name on them. Not fancy, but useful and cheap.
    Is it normal to think about diving...all the time?

    I bought some beautiful translucent acrylic cookies and arrows from a guy who offered to make them on TDS. They're kind of mango colored, and have my initials laser engraved in them. Or they would have, except for some reason the guy got mixed up, and put "LH" instead of "LF" on the markers. Still, I know they're mine!

    I guess am old fashioned. I mark my initials using a marking pen.
    Don't the rhinestones fall off?
