Run out of plastics?

[bassheel]

If you stopped buying plastics today  how long would it take for you to use your last one? I think I could go a few seasons myself.

maybe this season and next season

Season's?? Oh Man we're talking years over here!

My great grand children will be able to enjoy my current stash.

I'm 30, and if I never bought another pack, I probably have enough to last me the rest of my life with some left over for my grandkids

[Choporoz]

decades, no doubt

[Munkin]

About 30 years give or take?

My plastics could be passed down to my future great grandchildren.

If I keep up the fishing pace I am at probably 10 years, if I slow down who knows. Problem I have is that I have too many of certain styles that I really don't use much. A majority of my fishing is a tube, grub, Crawbug, or Ned rig for smallies. Finesse worms and creature baits not used so much there. Have had 3 packs of roboworms for 4 years that have never seen water lol  

One thing I am going to try this year is zoom zdrops and a similar jackall bait rigged Ned style to use them up.

Probably hundreds of years!

I spent half a day yesterday organizing tackle, most of it plastics. I was happy to find most of what I have is colors and styles I still use. I do have several pounds of stuff that I will give away though. With that said, I certainly could go for years without buying anything although replacement of whatever is used most still has to be done regularly. A man can't have too many Senkos, worms, trick/finess worms, Beavers, cut tails, grubs, craws, paddletails, lizards, creatures...

conservatively speaking, huh ? 

[Darren.]

Hmmm. Well, of the plastics I actually use,
assuming all of them, 6mo - 1 year.

Of those I have and don't use, 2 years or so.

[Missourifishin]

Possibly a lifetime. 

[bigturtle]

If i used them everytime im out, i can go through them in a year or 2. At current rate, probably 3 years

[S. Sass]

If it's just me a long long time. But I am kind of the lure supplier for me and a couple of fishing buddies. With them a guess would be 3 to 10 yrs. They will buy the gas drinks lunch ice etc but they know I'm bringing the tackle. 

[buzzed bait]

only a couple of weeks

(shhhhhhh my wife might see this)

Ten years. Lets just say Im in recovery. 

 

[Jar11591]

I literally have enough to last 100 people's lifetimes. 

[fishinfiend]

probably until the last one biodegrades lol

[roadwarrior]

Well, I know I will NEED more stuff as soon as it comes out, but I don't think I could ever actually run out of what I have.

 

[bowhunter63]

About 2 years it pays to stay stocked up

[kcdinkerz]

I started bass fishing 3-4 years ago. I got enough plastics to last a few years lol. Now I use mend it glue a lot so that saves even more. Do I still keep buying? Heck yeah can't resist a deal if I find one lol.

[Catt]

Run out!

What is this run out y'all speak of!

[papajoe222]

RUN OUT OF PLASTICS?  Just the thought gave me a panic attack. 

I have so many, that I need to completely empty a storage locker of my boat when taking a buddy fishing, or it'll be overloaded!  Then there's the pegboard storage I keep full of 'extras'. My boat could sink, or my house burn down and I'd still have enough for the rest of your grandchildren's life. I'm an old fart, so I figure using your life gives you a better idea.
