I figured we could have a nice calm place where everyone could post about their problems. . . . . Problems buying tackle that is! I know many of you seem to buy a new lure or two or maybe a couple of packs of soft plastics, or maybe even a new rod and reel every time you see them! 

 

We fisherman just can't resist! Maybe your collection has slowly added up over the years or maybe you add to it continuously! 

 

So let's hear about the problems you face when it comes to buying stuff and the collections you have accumulated! The first step to fixing the problem is admitting you have one!

 

 

Pictures are welcome!!!

I just can't stop spent other 280 today on a ducket, diawa and fire tiget cranks, buck tails. Next week is jigs, new swimbait reel and a few swimhaits. Some terminal tackle then im all set for the season

Till the next sale i mean

Ebay... thats my problem.

Umm, tackles the cheep part, what do you do when your son who loves to fish wants you to buy a boat?  So saving up and maybe next year I think my $600 trip to Bass Pro shops isn't gonna look as bad as that $18,000 bass boat I'll be putting money down on if things go right?  The good news, I'll have lots of new places to put all the fishing tackle that's in the house.

Just spent 1800 on lures when i got my income tax....

That's an investment that will be well worth it!

Holy cow! You wanna make a list  of what all you got? haha. 

What do ya'll guys who have the same problem as I search to find the good deals on eBay that I hear of?

I'm glad to say I don't have a problem.  When I want something, I go out and buy it or order it on-line.  I try to keep from doing that more than three or four times a day.  My psychiatrist tells me I'm doing well.

It's understandable to be in denial. Keep making progress with your psychiatrist and maybe you can only buy stuff once or twice a day though I know it will be a struggle. Just remember we are here for you!

I just picked up a Curado IHG today 

It's only a problem when Im awake.

30 bull shads?

I think this is how tournaments got started....put a bunch of fisherman together in a meeting and you know we are gonna try and out compete one another. 

I just picked up a Curado IHG today

initial impressions?

30 bull shads?

everyone knows you don't need that many bullshads.. but i want that many lol

No problem here, I quit buying. I said that right before the 5 pointers, 3 sammys,  and 2 staysees... 

initial impressions?

Feels amazing to me. It's very light, looks nice, and feels very solid and smooth. It's smaller than my E7s and feels as light as my 50E. I'm not going to say it's the best Curado that Shimano has made or anything since it doesn't even have line on it yet, but it certainly has the feel like it could be provided it performs as I expect it to and last like it should. 

This reminds me, need to buy another spinning combo... Darn you, Darn you to Hell!

Oh man I have 99 problems and buying to much darn bait is 1! This year especially.

My problem is that I'm in high school and trying to work 24/7 (to buy fishing gear of course) and can find enough work for my continuously expanding list of fishing equipment I need for college 

i laid all my combos out on the floor, mouth dropped open when I added them all up       

I have 45 combos and 70+ reels my problem is i need more room
