Hi Guy's, after reading all this last night I got a itch. By mistake on purpose I went to Mias after work for 2....only 2 Konas for St Lucia at the end of Dec.
Well an hour and a half later walked out with 3 packets of STUFF and most of is STUFF but very important STUFF. The funny thing is I didn't even get the Konas because they didn't have the colours I wanted, but they had  GREAT STUFF.
Anyway, I am man enough to admit that I am a right off and have TA bad  swr . However it's a nice bad.
Tight lines gents and don't forget to use your old STUFF or your new STUFF.  :lolo:

I've even taken up making lures as well  :dunno:
when I die, may my wife not sell my fishing tackle for what I told her I paid for it... and I have bought more, a severe case of TA

Haha, making lures also adds to the dredged TA. You find halfway through a build, you need a bigger this, more of that, or a different size this disting......

 :hyst:   :hyst:   7/10 , you've really got to go for re-hab ............ i recommend a day out on the ocean with all the tackle should keep the addiction in check for a day or two.

The worst is if you lose a brand new lure, especially if it was expensive on the first cast and you never even got a chance to get a fish on it....... That just grinds me and then I want to stock up on them........
Revenge tackle purchases are the worst.....

A belated :welc:


We all suffer from TA ...  the question is: why would you try and find a cure? It's what keeps us going in this mad world....
The more your line is in the water. The more fish you will catch.

You guys think you have problems I work for a Tackle shop & charter company I permanently have something on order, waiting to be paid for or recently purchased. Looking at racks of high end Japanese spinning gear and lure's is seriously detrimental to your bank balance.
