so since you have 40,000 times more gear than I do, does that mean you catch 40,000 times more fish? haha just kidding but that does seem pretty darn excessive. I think I am going to have to send those pics to my girlfriend so she stop thinking I spend too much on tackle.
Im not sure, but its fair to say that I catch quite a few fish. Im going thurday. I have several sponsors to so I get some stuff free. But, the Zoom and Reaction Innovations stuff I buy in large quantities. Say 20 packs of each color of my favs, and maybe 5 of a few others. Ive also been doing this for a while, so it builds up over time. When I go to a Pro/Am I tend to spend a few hundred bucks every time. Ive stopped doing that with new styles. I was getting to many different baits. I couldnt keep track of em and I wasnt using them. Made my friends very happy every fall when I clean out inventory.
I also buy a case of new Plano's every year. I replace the oldest most beat up boxes with new. I have a friend likes the old ones. There are usually some baits left in them for him to use. I moved the stuff to my garage 8 months ago and I still cant get it the way I want. Some crazy lady who says she is my wife keeps demanding half the garage. > I used to have a sponsor that was a custom pour expert. Guy was always giving me more and more. He would make my preferred colors and do an amazing job. Unfortunately he passed on 2 years ago. I still have plenty of inventory though. Those are kept in the plastic drawers below.I really need to get the drawers organized and labeled, thats my last bit to do.
let me be your friend, I will take those old boxed with stuff in it. I should be stocked for a year...lol. I am kidding dude.
