If anyone has any lures they don't use and would love to donate them to a high school tournament fisherman I know your guy.

When I was tournament fishing I built up a huge collection of "defensive" baits. Stuff that I would never choose on my own, but that I kept just in case my partner for that day started catching a bunch of fish on it.

About 95%. I fish the same soft plastics most of the time because I have cofidence in them and they seem to catch fish.

So how much tackle do you carry that you will probably never use?
90% of what I have in the boat. LOL I also have a ton of back ups in case I run low on something in the boat.

If we only had more arms and hands to handle more rods and lures. Maybe there is something to party boat trolling.

I have donated about 30% of my tackle so far. I just looked at some stuff again today about another 30% needs to go. That being said I could throw nothing but Senkos every time I fished for the next five years and not run out. I cannot resist a sale on my favorite baits. Deep diving crankbaits were the first to go.

There's not a lure I own that I wouldn't use for a certain situation. A lot may sit there for a couple years but when I need them it's good to have them. This last time I went I used some craws that I haven't used in a few years. Ended up catching some real good fish on them

I have never caught a fish on a swimbait or a swim jig. I caught my first spinner bait fish in five years last month.
I carry all of the above to the lake with me every time I go.
