Just wondering, how many bass tackle addicts are out there.

I am one for sure!!

I admit that I am as well because my fishing is 99% BASS fishing... Now I'll admit that I am probably more basic than most because I throw only soft plastics and/or jigs and soft plastics for everything I do, but this way I don't have to cloud my simple brain or think about too many methods to catch'em... Maybe I'm just LAZY :D

How many bass tackle addicts???...hmmmm...what are the bassresource.com membership numbers looking like these days? I bet the two are pretty close if all of us addicts will admit that we have a problem. The bait monkey never sleeps...

I have a tackle addiction as well. I have given in to the bait monkey and he has made my wallet shrink and my tackle boxs grow. As a matter of fact he even...... Hold on..... He's calling me right now.

I've heard it's an incurable disease, for those that have it that is, not me of course. Ha Ha

I'm not a addict because for me a addict is someone who has a problem. I dont have a problem i just love tackle. I have more tackle than you could imagine. I order from TW almost every week. I am even starting to know the guys names at Tw off by heart! The UPS delivery guy is always asking me what i ordered this week.

I admit, borderline addict. Tackle seems to grow every payday. I continue to buy lures and plastics I have success with, just in different colors. Usually don't stray away from what I normally use.

I don't have a problem.My wife however thinks I do....LOL

I'm an unrepentant tackle addict. More specifically, a crankbait addict. All those pretty shapes and colors.....

Gotta go...BPS needs more of my money. At least that's what this little monkey keeps telling me.

I could never buy another bait for the rest of my life and do just fine with what I have...but where's the fun in that?? :rolleyes:

Hootie, oh no...... Here goes..... I am a tackle addict and I cannot help myself. I will never attend a tackle addict meeting either unless it has some tackle there to buy. I have enough stuff for 5 lifetimes. But yet, when something new comes out, gotta have it. I'm sick that way

I am a collector :D

I'm a recovering addict. I'm doing better all the time at not spending money every paycheck at BPS or Cabela's. I still slip once in awhile but getting better at keeping it under $100 than I used to be. Finally realized I have my go to baits I fish all the time and tons of others that never get used so I stock up on my go to's and try to keep the experimenting with new baits or colors to a minimum. :rolleyes:

I have chosen to selectively acquire those items that will, or may at some time, afford me the opportunity to apply them in the pursuit of angling. Each and every lure, rod, reel and or accessory I purchase is done so with careful thought and planning and the expense can be fully justified. I am in total control crankbait and lack all impulse spinnerbait to just buy buzzbait an item without a purpose brushhog and know i'm always jerkbait in control.

im an addict gonna have to start a second tackle bag soon as the first one is full and weighs about 75 pounds darn that bait monkey

I only own the 10 baits that are tied on to my rods.......... :lol:

I admit " I am an addict".

On mothers day I took my wife shopping and spent 3 time more on tackle then I did on her.

Now it was part her fault, she could'nt find as much as I could.

She asked the one question that I never could understand, let alone answer. " How much of that stuff do you really need?"

By the way, there are some good looking new reels! Hummmm!!!

Normally, those with a problem are the last to admit it.

Well, I openly admit that I'm a tackle junkie, but my lack of denial has provided no cure :angry:

I weigh over 200 lbs, and my soft-plastic stash 'alone', now outweighs me.
