Well,... the wife unit strikes again!

She says "why do you need to stop by Academy or Bass Pro before every fishing trip?" Because I need some more [censored] to fish with! How do you guys purge the stuff you will never use? I got a lot of plastics and baits that will most likely never get wet. Do you donate it, just keep it, or trash it?

High school fishing team is a good recipient

Couldn’t agree more. Have done it three times now. Great way to downsize and do some good at the same time.

High Schools,..theres a lookup at the top of the Bass section..

yep. high school fishing teams

I used to have that issue and have gotten to where I just stop buying stuff I dont have to have. If I need to replace something I buy it. If not then I dont buy it. I gave alot away to buddies that were just getting into the sport. Never had a high school team in the country where I live until last couple years.

Yup. Contact the school’s club coach. I email our local coach and drop em off at the front desk for him once a year. Trying a lot types or brands of baits I’ll never use again and couldnt make myself toss them out. This is a much better alternative.

Now you’ll have more room for more stuff you’ll only use once!

Donate it & take the tax write off.

Just use up what you have before buying more. Not difficult.

Here is another idea if you're feeling froggy..

Tell her you need more fishing tackle for the same reason she needs 33 pairs of shoes.

Asked my wife why she needed another pair of shoes? Her reply was "do we need to go out to the garage and have this conversation!!!! Nope we're good.

That's it.... Close the thread....
This response here, ends all discussions hahahahaha

I donate it to high school or college bass teams. They REALLY seem to like ti and are VERY appreciative of the gifts. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

When my wife goes too I get to spend more money on tackle. She loves all those places.
