Just wanted to know how many lures you guys out there own!

My wife thinks i got to many but i guess i'll know after you guys let me know.

Cranks ----> close to a 1000, you don 't think I 'm going to count them in front of my wife do you ?

Spinnerbaits -----> close to 200

Jigs & worms -----> 40-50 pounds.

Swimbaits -----> my stock is modest, it doesn 't reach 50.

Way to many. About five big tackle boxes full and I'd be willing to bet I don't use 90% of the lures I have.

I never actually counted mine neither but i probably will one night when my wife is asleep.

I have gone so far that i hide new lures from my wife anywhere i can!

not going to count!!! heaps upon heaps of tackle at my house!

Swimbaits: 400-500

Topwaters/Ripbaits: 75+

Buzz/chatter/Spinnerbaits: 75+

Cranks: 200+

Soft plastics: 200 lbs+

Spoons/blades: 30+

All in all... WAY too much tackle but you just never know when you're going to need it!

Step 1 is admitting you have a problem so I am not going to say or count. What I can tell you is at last count I had 42 of my favorite bandit crankbait (hey, they may stop making them so I stocked up) and 27 LC pointers in my favorite color.

An 8x8 room full of tackle bags, storage containers, and drawer storage

Plus my dining room is set up for flytying,rods,reels,tournament gear and the lures I am using at that time of year.

My situation is similar to FlyPhisher. Years ago, after my wife passed away, the bait monkey moved in. LOL

enough that I use all of it exept a few.

12 spinnerbaits

4 buzzbaits

1 slim dog

3 jigs

whole bunch of plastics

12-15 cranks ;D

Crankbaits - less than 10

Spinnerbaits - 1 or 2

Topwater Baits - 2 Zara Spooks!

SwimBaits - 2

Soft Plastics - Endless ammount!

I have enough baits that no one in my family thinks to buy me any as gifts, so I just keep buying and losing them, but I gonna run out tackle any time soon.

All of 'em.  I don't believe in renting lures. ;D ;D

Got a second tackle bag this Christmas and filled it up.  One tackle bag has about 25 bags of soft plastics.  My other tackle bag has probably 50 cranks and an assortment of hooks.  I am limiting the bait monkey to 2 bags (one for soft and the other for hard).

Wife doesn't understand why I catch and release.  If I go through all the trouble of buying equipment and catching the fish, why not eat it.  I eat saltwater fish but not much of fan of freshwater.  Since she doesn't understand my hobby, I don't bother telling her how many lures I have!

Well, first off, I have been getting rid of a bunch (most) of the old lures, for the last few years, so I don't really have much left from my old "bait monkey" days.

I have a handful of collectors swimbaits laying around. And few crank baits and jigs that I use for Stripers. In a nutshell, I probably have less lures than any of you guys, and whittling them down to less and less, all the time.

But now, how many lures do I have, "that I use" ?

Right now, I have about 30 Huddleston Trout, mostly #12's in regular trout pattern. And about 30 Basstrix Bluegills, in regular Bluegill pattern. That's all I need. I'll get me some more when these start to run low :-)

hey raul did you hear about my new share a lure program

not in the 1000s  

I've got a lot of baits that I bought for those situations I think I might need them for one day.

I've got far fewer that I actually use on the water.

Every few years I toss out those baits I thought I should keep around just in case.

unfortunately, I usually wind up turning around and re-purchasing more baits for the just in case situations.

About 10.

I used to have a boat load, common sense finally caught up with me, now I stock up much like FC.

I buy bulk of what gets used.  That would be soft plastics, but as for lures, my partner has a good collection of cranks, other than that, I have my topwaters and a few swimbaits so I'm sticking with the number 10.

Tooooooooo Many but not quite enough !

Most of us are pretty sick!!!

Baits I don't use----too many

Baits that I use-----not enough!!

I have 7 3700's in one rack in the boat, 5 in another compartment.  I also have a spinnerbait box in another.  I have several boxes full of lures I don't use at all, and another box full of lures still in the wrap.  All told, this is about 5 times what I need.
