Super User buzzed bait Posted February 19, 2014 Super User Posted February 19, 2014 I am forever seeing guys post pics and sell stuff on the flea market with brand new in box lures. I for one just can't wait to get the thing out of the package (this really goes for anything and not just fishing gear). I usually pull it out of the package almost immediately and then toss the packaging almost as quickly. sure it's bit me before when trying to return something, but i suppose it's just my own personal habit. I'm wondering how many of you are like me or are OCD about keeping things in the package until the last moment you're ready to open it? Quote
bartdude186 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I rip it open and put it in the tackle box as soon as i get it, even if it won't see the water for months lol. 2 Quote
papajoe222 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 The only items I'll save the packaging on are ones that I think I may sell off at some time in the future and those are things like electronics,reels. Very rarely do I save the pkg. on baits that go into my tackle box. The rest I keep in their packaging hanging on a pegboard until they are put into use, or donated when I purge my excess gear around this time every year. Quote
fishinthedacks Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I used to keep em in boxes.... When I had the room lol not it gets taken out and I rip off the cardboad saying what it is in case I forget. The obvious stuff no need but if I'm trying something new if it works well id hate to forget what it is. This goes double for stuff I get in the winter Quote
gallowaypt Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 It's because guys (myself included) get bitten by the tackle monkey and buy waaaaay too many baits/lures. When I find a good deal, I can't resist sometimes. This equates to tons of tackle, some still left unopened, Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 19, 2014 Global Moderator Posted February 19, 2014 If I bought it to use right away it's coming out of the package. If it's a backup then it stays in the package and goes on the appropriate peg on my pegboard in the garage. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 19, 2014 Super User Posted February 19, 2014 When I buy something it comes out out the package as soon as I get it in the house. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 19, 2014 Super User Posted February 19, 2014 Usually goes in the tackle box right away unless I bought it as backup in which case it gets stored in it's package until use. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted February 19, 2014 Author Super User Posted February 19, 2014 Alright so sounds like you're mostly like me. I suppose I don't have/keep many backups so maybe that explains the pics I see.... Quote
TrippyJai Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Only the back up baits stay in the package. I'll have 2 of each bait in the box. Quote
