I stopped doing this, whether on TackleWarehouse or elsewhere. Usually the stuff is on sale for a reason.

 

If I haven't used it, haven't heard good things, or it doesn't fill a gap of some kind or look super interesting, I try not to buy it. 

 

I still have some in-store discount baits/tackle that are either totally inferior to other stuff or are colours that don't make sense where I fish. I put this in my "backcountry camping" tackle box as there's a chance it'll get lost or rust out and the fish aren't picky back there in theory. Also try to use it shore-fishing when snags are likely. 

 

Why would I willingly fish something that will likely catch less fish than something else?

 

I also stopped following TacticalBassin as I realized their main goal is to make you think you need more tackle than you do and buy stuff on TW. I don't need 20 variations of ned rig soft plastics. It wouldn't even be possible to fish often enough to reach any conclusion as to which one does better and under which conditions.
