Anyone else seem to have this problem? Every time I go in a store with fishing equipment I seem to always leave with something. I always have to look through the selection and then I end up buying more than I need. Too many unopened packages!!!

Am I the only one? Surely not... :

Yes , you are the only one.

NO YOU ARE NOT !!! 95% of the members on here have the same affliction 

This sport is an addiction. You are DEFINITELY not the only one. I'm glad the season started, now I can consentrate on fishing and not what I don't have and could possibly one time under a certain condition need. The only problem now is I lose baits and have to pick up more.

Are you kidding? I can't drive within 5 miles of a tackle store without going to pick up a pack of something or a color I'm "low" on. My wife actually plans trips way around any BPS, otherwise, we're goin' in!

It's called the bait monkey and once it gets on your back it is hard to get rid of it. ;D

The problem for me is I'm always trying to find the magical lure. I seem to follow the hottest trends too.

There's been a lot of talk on the website about fat ikas lately so I went out and bought 3 bags.

The sad thing is when I go out fishing I end up using 5-10 lures and stare at the other $1000 in lures and ask myself why I own all that.

Im incredibly guilty of this.  Though lately its been more of a gear addiction than lures.  Im going to have to enter a 12 step program.

I have so much stuff its insane.  Told myself no more crankbaits, jerkbaits, buzzbaits, poppers or spinnerbaits.   Only thing I am buying now is plastics.  Stocked up on other stuff

I hope your kidding about the magical lure.

You are not the only one!! There is one other thing that happens to me when I'm staring at  the isles of  lures. I dont know if i get just so relaxed but I tend to have terribly bad gas!! ;D
