It took me 6hrs just to get all your tackle out of the boat when I bought it and another 2 weeks of finding baits you had crammed in every open space or dead spot....

Thats hilarious. I think I bought every medium diving h2o crankbait at academy a few months back.

fouz..if you have some original OLD hellbenders,heddon sonics or original fishbacks..i know a certain old timer that would be willing to take em off your hands.

Sorry bro, I never sell antique lures. Only collect them!

As for clearing out an entire peg, I'll bet the next guy behind me looking for WatermelonRed Mag Flukes at Basspro last week was pizzed. I cleaned out 4 full pegs! Oh, and don't go to the new Academy in Conroe looking for the original GrandeBass Diamondbacks and Rattlesnakes. All they have left is the "new" GB offerings. I cleaned them out of the old stuff last Friday. 50 some odd bags. Yep, it's an affliction.

every time I pick something up at a tackle store, my beautiful, wonderful wife reminds me that we either have one of those at home, in the trailer, or in the boat,..or all 3 places.
I don't take her with me much anymore.
my name is jim,..and i'm a tackle junkie,.......hello jim.

Count me in - and more in if the budget allowed. But let's talk about causes of this addiction/affliction/wondrous joy (depending on perspective, of course).

For me it's those threads that are titled along the lines of "What's your favorite plastic (spring lure, bed lure, crank, topwater, etc., etc.)"

Like a bedding bass, each lure listed in one of those threads get's my attention. If it's mentioned 2 or more times, then I'm pretty much hooked. Guess it's not all bad since I was not aware of glorious 7 inch Blue Fleck Power Worm which I bought and have caught several nice bass on including my PB.

But for mercy's sake, please don't start any more of the "Favorite Swimbait" threads. Those tempt me towards all sorts of nincompoopery.

I went the route of plastic shoe boxes from the dollar store and I put those in big rubbermaid boxes labeled spring, summer and fall.

Notice I don't have a box labeled winter because I hate ice fishing.

My wife just agreed we need to sell the house we bought 2 years ago so we can get a new house with a bigger garage or a barn so I can have more room to store my tackle and boat and other gear. After 34 years of marriage, I think I'll keep her.
