You may find some like-minded individuals there :). I'm not going to bash someone I don't know for how they spend their money. I personally spend too much money as well on tackle for where I am at in life but I do fine and I sure have a lot of fun fishing :). So there's that. Haven't spend a dime on alcohol this semester. I'm not really fun at parties.... lol 4 Quote
CrashVector Posted October 22, 2021 Author Posted October 22, 2021 $100-$150 for me every 2 weeks lol I just like fiddling with my equipment..no pun intended lol! I change the line on my reels twice a month, etc just because it's like therapy I'm an ER nurse when I'm not fishing...so whatever helps me chill out I guess lol My fiance just says "It makes it SUPER easy to get you Christmas and birthday presents....bps gift cards and you're good to go" lol! 17 minutes ago, LrgmouthShad said: You been on the latest tackle purchases thread (bait monkey victim support group)?

papajoe222 Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 FYI fellas, I'm starting a support group for anyone that has this affliction. Its purpose is to support your addiction. We accomplish this by passing the bait monkey around thereby getting him off our own backs until the next meeting. Meetings are twice a week (Tues.& Thurs.) and limited to four members. 1 5 Quote

Super User DitchPanda Posted October 22, 2021 Super User Posted October 22, 2021 Should check out tackle warehouse over BPS. Better prices and a much better selection. Plus if you spend enough you get free stickers..free shirts. More and better gear for the same cost plus free stuff...no brainer! Oh and they do gift cards as well! 1 1 Quote
Smells like fish Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I’m at the point that if I completely stopped fishing I’d still buy lures ?? 4 3 Quote

Super User king fisher Posted October 22, 2021 Super User Posted October 22, 2021 Just tell yourself your problem is nothing compared to the guy who is in to expensive swimbaits. If you are in to expensive swimbaits, then you may be beyond help. Also remember those fisherman that catch big fish on the same two lures with old gear are evil alien's, not true fisherman and treat old people and dogs badly. 3 Quote

InfantryMP Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 I have a similar issue. I like to subscribe to tackle bundles. I am subscribed to. 6th Sense Champions Club (MLF box) I like to keep them going over the winter, so I can stock up on stuff. I do not have a BPS or a Dicks within 45 min to an hour, so I let everything come to me via mail. When I need specific stuff, I order from TW. 1 Quote

CrashVector Posted October 22, 2021 Author Posted October 22, 2021 I just went to Walmart for some laundry detergent. Came back with laundry detergent, 5 packs of blue and white creme mini tail crappie lures, a bag of Ozark trail sun perch colored hammer hogs, and a spool of 20lb coastal brown berkley big game to go with my other two spools 1 Quote
