JPost Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Anyone else seem to have this problem? Every time I go in a store with fishing equipment I seem to always leave with something. I always have to look through the selection and then I end up buying more than I need. Too many unopened packages!!! Am I the only one? Surely not... : Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted April 14, 2010 Super User Posted April 14, 2010 Yes , you are the only one. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted April 14, 2010 Super User Posted April 14, 2010 NO YOU ARE NOT !!! 95% of the members on here have the same affliction Quote
backwater4 Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 This sport is an addiction. You are DEFINITELY not the only one. I'm glad the season started, now I can consentrate on fishing and not what I don't have and could possibly one time under a certain condition need. The only problem now is I lose baits and have to pick up more. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted April 14, 2010 Super User Posted April 14, 2010 Are you kidding? I can't drive within 5 miles of a tackle store without going to pick up a pack of something or a color I'm "low" on. My wife actually plans trips way around any BPS, otherwise, we're goin' in! Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted April 14, 2010 Super User Posted April 14, 2010 It's called the bait monkey and once it gets on your back it is hard to get rid of it. ;D Quote
Diablos Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 The problem for me is I'm always trying to find the magical lure. I seem to follow the hottest trends too. There's been a lot of talk on the website about fat ikas lately so I went out and bought 3 bags. The sad thing is when I go out fishing I end up using 5-10 lures and stare at the other $1000 in lures and ask myself why I own all that. Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 Im incredibly guilty of this. Though lately its been more of a gear addiction than lures. Im going to have to enter a 12 step program. Quote
Dixon Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 I have so much stuff its insane. Told myself no more crankbaits, jerkbaits, buzzbaits, poppers or spinnerbaits. Only thing I am buying now is plastics. Stocked up on other stuff Quote

riverfisher Posted April 15, 2010 Posted April 15, 2010 You are not the only one!! There is one other thing that happens to me when I'm staring at the isles of lures. I dont know if i get just so relaxed but I tend to have terribly bad gas!! ;D Quote

Super User Raul Posted April 15, 2010 Super User Posted April 15, 2010 What "problem" ? I don 't see any problem there, it 's just like you like to purchase stuff, lots of it. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 15, 2010 Super User Posted April 15, 2010 I guess I'm cured. I haven't bought anything all day! 8-) Quote
JPost Posted April 15, 2010 Author Posted April 15, 2010 All I was grabbing last night was some plastic worm rattles (never used them and wanted to try them). My fianc ée immediately seen me sneaking them into the basket and said "NO! ENOUGH ALREADY! This is getting !@#$&^ ridiculous!!!" That was that. :'( I guess I'm cured. I haven't bought anything all day! 8-) I'll gladly let you buy me something! Quote
