Although I tend to agree there is no in between, I still like to think of myself as being in between  ;D It makes me feel better.

I guess I'm as big a tackle junky as I can be, given my income.

LOL...Just spent another $100 on a rod and a pack of senkos.  I am addicted.  Wife will try to kill me but I am happy.  Now to find enough space to stuff the worms into my box.

I used to not buy enough.  I am now trying the best way I know how to find forgiveness for those past sins.

Hey MitchIsFishing, it's funny you said

tackle junkies are like those who can't own too much camera gear, car stuff or you name it.

Because when it comes to cameras or stuff for my new truck, I'm completely the opposite as I am with fishing tackle. I could spend litterally 10's of thousands of $$$ on cameras and truck stuff, if I had it !

Heck, I have 7 cameras now.... but would just love to buy a top of the line pro DSLR, and a full assortment of lenses.... that would be $50K right there ! And a couple more top of the line fixed lens cams.... and a good digital video recorder....

And I know I could easily dump $50K or more, into my truck too.

So, as you can see, for me, fishing is the FAR cheaper choice ;-)

Peace,

Fish

HAHAHHAHAHAHA! That is how I justify it to my wife as well!

"Baby fishing is CHEAP compared to my other hobbies"

<Tackle Junkie  8-)

I like stuff.

Lotsa stuuuuuff!!!

My wife buys shoes and clothes, I buy fishing tackle!! I actually bought 10 bags of worms on the day I got laid off at work, they were on sale!!!!

My wife actually said to me tonight, "Honey, it looks like you need a new, larger tackle box, don't you think?"

Hmmm, let me think about it for a second.  "Yeah, you're right!"

Since I bought that Shimano Saros reel and a St. Croix rod, all of my old stuff feels like a grit grinder of some sort.  Plus, that reel is just a beautiful piece of machinery.  I'll never buy a cheap, low quality outfit ever again.

Yeah, I'm a junky.  

Hmmm I wonder if my wife and I qualify as Junkies. Between the two of us we have 13 rods and reels 3 tackle boxes 2 fillet knives a few "spare rods and reels, and a freezer full of bass and bream ready for the next family fish fry.

I may have you beat on rods and reels, but I'm envious of your freezer!  I'm slacking in the panfish area....I need to take my wife soon.  There aren't any fish in the sea that compare to crappie, sand bass, or bluegill IMHO.  I'll bring the cornmeal!

Come on down, the wife makes killer fish batter. We'll even toss in some crawfish, sausage, and shrimp. Chase it all down with some ice cold brew and make it REAL party!  ;D
