Everytime I lose a lure I go and buy 2 to take "revenge".
I also do that...... :hyst: :hyst: :hyst:

Ok here are some of my confessions.....
 
Sometimes at night when its hot I struggle to sleep, I then rig up one of my spinning rods complete with a lure and then hold it in my hands whilst I take a dos on the Verandah. Makes for very good dreams and I always catch a good fish like that.
 
My girlfriend calls all the stuff I buy at Kingfisher my looney tablets........  :hehe:

I just realised why all the guys at the Kingfisher give me good smiles and a warm welcome when I come to their shop.  :hehe:
 
They saw me coming and they know  :crzy

Ha, you know there is a problem when the guys at the tackle shop know your first and last name and your birthdate, and that's the only place you see them.... prty


FA - sometimes I take a lures off one of the peg boards in the shrine and start stroking the packaging just to sooth the fishing tension.

@ John F and Peterblace I really enjoy buying kit for you guys and spending your sheckles wisely but boy does it hurt my pocket too as I always seem to leave with something I don't really need.  :unhap

good advice there!


My strategy is to check what I have before I go to the tackle store and know exactly what I want....however this DOES NOT always work - I still buy way too much.....


In my fishing store room (my wife calls it the "tackle shop annex") there is stuff I have never used and most probably wont use.


I get rid of stuff when I go fishing where there are gillies- and assemble a bag full of goodies for them - which includes old rods and reels


Since using braid, I must admit that I no longer have extra line piling up - and since I now mainly do lure fishing, I dont buy sinkers.


Dont talk to me about flies - I have at least 500.....


However, I still manage to spend a fortune before any big expedition - and com back with tons of unused stuff


I am thinking of therapy...

I have over 500 Konas, and way more than that many flies, am scared to count my Halcos and Rapalas

When I bought my house the beginning of the year one of the things I was looking for was an out side "office" where I can go and do my work and not bother the misses! Now I've got a house with a long pool to test the different lures in and a "office" where I hide my tackle and model airplanes. Now my biggest concern is that when I die some day my wife is gonna sell everything for what I told her it was worth!

Gents, from an entirely unbiased view point I would like to say... don't fight it! Thats like trying to stop the rain from pouring!
 
I personally dont recommend Chigger's steps but find it far more productive to find and the nearest salesman ask him to show you what's new...  :creep:
