slainempire Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 seen this question asked on fb and had fun reading the responses. i imagine i fall in the middle of the pack with 47. Quote
aceman387 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 If i dumped out all my totes in the garage and started counting them now it would take me until this afternoon to gat back with a number for you. soft plastics and jigs are all i fish. 1 Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 Enough too start a business and enough stock to hold me from now untill fall.im guessing 3000 bags .. Quote
Trek Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Now that I started making my own plastics I would hate to even try to give that number. I guess the difference is now one bag might have 50 baits in it instead five bags with ten. When I use to fish Federation they gave us bags full of sample baits to try. Most of it I never used so when I would get home I had a box that I would pitch them in. Who knows why. I had a large box full of baits. So I separated all the colors and melted them down into baits I would use. The odd colors I just added black and made them black. It was free plastic and kept me busy this winter. Quote
Jolly Green Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Um... more than I did yesterday at this time. C'mon, spring... 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 1000's................and that's all I am going to say 1 Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 It's easier to measure my plastics by the pound. I probably have 1000's of bags. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 In not sure,i brought around 100 bags with me to college. I have a few shelves piled with plastics and 8 boxes filled with plastics Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 What I have would fill Bass Pro! Quote
daiwaguy Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 peg boards and tackle bags full. probably around 800-1000. I really have no idea. So many that I haven used 3/4 of them. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 I've got enough to open a small tackle shop. Quote
macmichael Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I probably have 50 bags. I thought that was a lot. I don't even come close. 1 Quote
Super User Teal Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 Probably 5 times what my wife thinks I have. 6 Quote
MarksHooked Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Just counted. I'm at 21 lol, and most of those are half full. Heading to the BPS Spring Classic sale tomorrow, so that number will change for sure! My wife thinks 21 is plenty lol, This will only be my second season fishing, I'm still trying to build my collection, but am often met with resistance. I need to continue showing her posts like these Quote
jhoffman Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Ive got entire boxes dedicated to categories of baits... swimbaits, worms, craws I actually just told myself yesterday that I wont buy any bags anytime soon Quote
Amarley Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hundreds. I figured out it was cheaper to make my own, so that's what I've started doing. About a $200 upfront investment and you can make thousands of baits in any color you want. Quote
jhoffman Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 If youre anything like me, you will get to a point you have so many options that it can become impossible to focus on the details and start wingn everything thinking its a bait or color change away from glory. Quote
5dollarsplash Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I'm going through and trying to clear out ones I don't or haven't used. Luckily, I've gotten to the point where I know what I like and what works for me. I'm sure there will be the occasional purchase outside of that but, BIG BUT, I'm going to try to stick with the winners. Quote
Super User Munkin Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 I am not sure but I doubt they would all fit in the bed of a truck? Allen Quote
Alpha Male Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 wow. I have MAYBE 100... and I thought i was gonna be in the middle of the pack Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I have too many. But I need more. I have mine categorized by worms, swimbaits, creatures and craws. Probably 25lbs of each. But I saw a few more that I'll pick up next time. Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 I'd have to guess it is somewhere close to the 4500 mark. Were I to measure it by weight volume, it's got to be somewhere around 1200lbs of plastic. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted February 28, 2014 Super User Posted February 28, 2014 I'd have to guess it is somewhere close to the 4500 mark. Were I to measure it by weight volume, it's got to be somewhere around 1200lbs of plastic. Thanks - I don't feel as bad about have what I have now - actually seems somewhat reasonable compared to your half a TON . . . . A-Jay 2 Quote
