Oh absolutely!! I just ordered 3 months worth of Lucky Tackle Box bass boxes. And every time I am at Canadian Tire or Bass Pro I cant help but spend a few bucks on random bass gear. Its an addiction. The only prescription is reelin in bass!

I got bags and bags of stuff piled up in boxes, shelve and basement that I bought and not remember. The last time I did a clean up and sorting.... I counted over 20+ new spool of powerpro! 20+ bags/box of weights, 30+ packages of hooks, 100+ bags of soft plastics that I would never use and still do not remember why I bought it. 5 new pairs of pilers, 4 new reels, 3 brand new minnow nets, 30+ floats, and many more things I will not use. I tired to organize my tackle boxes and bags... but 10 mins in I figured I have too much.... I shoved everything into big storage totes and left it.
I am not proud of it... sort of disappointed that I keep getting baited to buy more stuff and not be organized and not waste money. Going to try and not buy anymore lures and bait this year. Rods maybe.... but that will be it I swear!

My fishing buddy is more of a tackle freak than probably anyone else here. I was checking out his boat house last fall and asked him how many tackle boxes he had. There were 21 fully equipped tackle boxes around the boat house, to complement the 70+ rod and reel combinations (all in perfect working order, all he'd need to do is put on fresh line). He's not like that with anything else in his life.....just fishing tackle. I'd bet he'd give the biggest tackle display that Crappy Tire has a run for their money!

Actually, he is going to put his cottage on the market this year, so all that stuff just may be disappearing!

Lures aren't for catching fish......... What's with all the life like finishes? Can fish see the detail? I don't think so, but we sure can as we shell out $14!

My vice these days... Flies.. Flies and flies. Use some for perch and so many more flies for every other kind of fishing. The little buggers add up real quick when you start catching tree branches and the back of your jacket
