Latest Tackle Purchase Thread (Bait Monkey Victim Support Group)
No matter how much I buy, that darn monkey is always on my back. I always see something else that I think I "need". Its really out of hand and to make it worse, taxes just came in and a bonus at the end of this month. I keep telling myself "save it, save it, save it, save it", but I'm not sure the monkey is going to let me.

How many times have you lost a brand new lure first cast?
Hudd 68 Special, first one. Snagged on a tree in 10fow, fishing from the bank, of course I bombed my cast out there so not able to get it back. Broke my heart. Sold all my swimbaits after that.
