I probably have new lures that are close to collectable now. I have a minnow that has a prop on his tail. When the prop turns it turns magnets inside and his side fins flutter. Brand new in the boxes. It's high tech like the laser dots. Lol

Only time it's ever been out of the package.

I still have plastics I bought back in the 80's/90's that have yet to be opened. 

I think (and this goes for us all) we see something on the stores shelf that fills a need, and we buy it to have it available when needed. Issue is,.. that need never comes up as we are fishing along, because whats tied on is working. Does a 4" black straight tailed worm have a use? you bet, but are you going to stop tossing that green pumpkin one thats slaying them? heck no.

 See my point?

I must admit that I had TONS of extras that were never touched, but then my 2 huge tackle bags were stolen, and although I had extras to start off with, I have diligently watched my steps in replacing my staples and trying hardest to avoid senseless tackle purchases.

 So,. of course I had to find some 4" black straight tailed worms asap. and once I got my worm weights and jigs replaced, Massachusetts passed a no-lead law. Just my luck, here I go again. I wish seberts made 1/4 oz leadfree jigs in all styles

Looks so nice out of the water. in the water, it looks just like it looks out of the water. A fake Dead bluegill made of plastic. I am sure it catches fish but this is one of the only lures I have tied on and after a few minutes I realized why am I now just using a frog? It will help you find turtles which = wood, so maybe it is a good fish finder.

i don't even know where to start......

I have some buzz toads, a ton of soft plastics I got on sale, a few soft plastic swimbaits and a jointed Jitterbug that haven't seen the water.

I have fished some baits that I shouldn't have because they caught my eye and not the fish. Mostly big jointed swimbaits.
