Used Baitcaster For First Time Today, Think I Am Hooked
It gets crazy expensive thats for sure. I had a spread sheet going. When i got to 100 drivers i deleted it. That was in 2010 or so. I started playing in 06 and im only 24. I just try not to think about it now

Used Baitcaster For First Time Today, Think I Am Hooked
Pun intended...anyways got early christmas gift. My wife is the best. Got a silver max (really wanted an h2o mettle express) but couldnt find a lefty. I was really impressed with it. Once i figured out the drag brakes spool tension this thing was a blast. It was much easier to use than i expected and casts a mile. I like having control of where i can stop the cast etc. I am going to enjoy 2015 with this reel. I have it paired up with ugly stik gx2 7 ft mh rod and 50 lb braid. I think it is a very solid combo for under 100 bucks. I am glad to join the bait caster club

How Do You Divide Your Tackle Bag?
I dont use stinkbaits anymore. I use dead minnows, worms, livers, or cut bait. I just use it all or donate it to the next guy fisjing when i am done. My dog has been in my stink bait way too mamy times. I quit buying it. She opened the lid on my tackle nox this summer and ate through the plastic three times.

How Do You Divide Your Tackle Bag?
I have a four tray tackle bag and i am trying to put my bass, catfish and panfish gear all in ot but it is hard to keep it organized. I had specific boxes for each earlier this year but i wanted to down size. I am not sure how to do this and my box not weigh 20 lbs. Thinking 2 bass 1 cat 1 pan tray, but i am not sure. It is driving me nuts trying to carry a variety of tackke but keep it as light as possible.

Anyone Use A Leatherman Multi Tool?
I got a pair of leatherman shears when i graduated nursing school. Love them. Lots of little tools for my job (ring cutter, sissors etc) anyways thinking abour one for my tackle bag. Just wondered if they are as quality for fisherman as they are for the rn? Sadly mine are missing and like 70 bones to replace.

Local Tackleshop Vs. Retail Giants
I really try to shop locally, but it is hard. Very limited selection. Way expensive and lack of knowledge from staff all hurt. Went in looking for a rod and reel combo. They had prices like 30 percent higher than walmart or dsg. I am all for local business but a cheap old man even more so. Went in to buy livebaot all year asked what the catfish were biting on every single time got same answer...nightcrawlers, i caught a bunch of cats this year, not one on a worm lol

Downsizing
This has been my first year fishing and i went nuts buying lures. I had a bag with 6 3700 trays, and 2 3600s full. The thing weighed 30 lbs. Just way too much. I had 18 spinners 50 plus crankbaits, 20 jigs, 7 buzzbaits, bunch of frogs, and two 3700 trays stuffed with plastics. I have kept what works, roughly 10 crankbaits, 7 topwater, 8 spinners, 3 buzz baits, 8 jigs, and one 3700 full of doft plastics. Put everything in a jansport backpack weighs 12 lbs. Limits my choices and tons easier to carry. Very happy
