Super User Ratherbfishing Posted October 28, 2016 Super User Posted October 28, 2016 This question assumes you don't already have so many baits you couldn't possibly fish them all but, strict collection items notwithstanding, how long after purchase of a bait do you wait until it goes into your tackle box? Assuming I don't NEED it/them right away, I like to keep them on my desk for a few weeks so I can ogle over them sufficiently. As an added "bonus", I've noticed that the longer I keep them on my desk, the less likely I am to pursue another bait purchase. Quote
pawpaw Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 If I find a deal on something I use regularly or even one I'd like to try it could hang on a hook for years. I still have some unopened .99 cent buzz baits from Grandpa Pigeons. They went out of business some time in the 90's. 1 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted October 29, 2016 Super User Posted October 29, 2016 Right away for me. If I buy any new bait, plastic or even new color, I wanna try it right away. 3 Quote
jr231 Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I like to collect some.. I have the regulars that have earned their way into the tackle box.. I buy extras of styles that worked.. and rotate them in as the others get lost or retired. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 29, 2016 Global Moderator Posted October 29, 2016 If they're extras then they go on the pegboard until they're needed. If not then they go in a box and immediately into the boat before my wife finds them. 4 Quote

Super User Raul Posted October 29, 2016 Super User Posted October 29, 2016 Might be a few minutes or decades. Got a bunch of bags of Culprit 7.5 ribbontail worms I purchased in 1991 that haven´t been opened yet, Most of the baits in this pic are still as shown: They have been there for several years now ..... now that I come to think about it, that pic is maybe 10 years old.

Drove a hundred miles to and from to save twenty dollars . 1 Quote
