Normally I just hoard stuff in my garage and basement. Last couple of years its become so bad that you can't walk around in the basement.  I have been selling off stuff or giving it away to the Jr. Bassmasters club. With that said I have a long way to go! Plan is to sell off about 300 hardbaits over the winter.

I give them away to kids who are always fishing in the lake in my neighborhood. 

Find someone who is more down to earth than me and give them away so they will be used.

Collect them. Complain that I can't find what I'm looking for because there is so much stuff in the way. I upgraded to the biggest tackle backpack I could find and its full. It weighs as much as my ruck sack did when I was in the Army so I have no problem carrying it all day. My left knee complains for the next few days though haha. 

 

I would love to find a local lure swap group to try new things and trade what I don't use. 

Give them away.

 

I actually went through my boxes and put together those that I hadn't used and had no plans to use...hard baits as well as plastics.

 

Took my Plano B-series 3700 bag, 4 boxes that were sitting around not being used, and put together a 'starter kit'. Added the President 7.3 on the Laguna and the Trion-35 on the Stratus...and offered as a 'package' with the canoe sale.

 

First line of the ad read "Buy today, fish tomorrow"

 

Dunno if it was a selling point, but sold the canoe in a week at my initial asking price.

I give them to high school fishing teams.

^This.  Makes good prizes. 

I sell some stuff, give some away, some I save and convince myself I'll need it some day.

So would I, sounds like a good idea but never seen one up here. Also seems giving them to someone is a very popular choice. The melting and repouring of plastics I never considered but maybe should. Near as I can tell I'm around 30lb's of plastics at this point ?
