How many lipless cranks too many?

[Dan N]

Just took a count at 70, while ordering more??? Am I nuts

[Tennessee Boy]

Not even close.  The latest numbers from the American Psychological Society concerning lipless crankbaits.

 

20 -  Preoccupied 

50 - Obsessive Compulsive

75 - Maniacal 

100 - Nuts

150 - Unhinged

Guess I gotta work more at it - I only got 19 in my collection.

Wonder where @A-Jay fits on that chart...oh wait, he's a jerkbait maniac.

Too many lipless? That’s just crazy talk. As long as you don’t take mine you can never have too many. ?

[Susky River Rat]

I have…….. none. Lost my last one a few years ago. Never caught a fish on one anyway so it freed up some room.

[DitchPanda]

Too many is 71 so your outside of the crazy...but barely

[king fisher]

Not even close.  Tackle Warehouse lists 101 colors of the original Rattle Trap and that is just one brand and model.  Of course you need multiples of the ones that work for you, so basically you will always need at least one more.

Are you asking for another A-Jay tackle porn post?

I only have 30 or so lipless that I never throw but I think you are fine. I have about 300 chatterbaits so I am a bit of an expert in sanity.

Lipless is my all time favorite confidence bait, but you've got me beat with numbers. I'm right at 50 my last count.

you don’t want to know how many I have between the ‘comes with me Every trip’ box, the ‘likely to need one’ box, the ‘lipless could be a thing today’ box, and then all of the spares in the cabinet in the basement. Most of any given color and size is 4 I think, so lots of variety. 
 

edit: just counted 81 in the basement. That doesn’t count what’s in the 2 boxes in the tackle bag in the truck for tomorrow.

I'll take a pic and post it tomorrow. I bet I'm closer to 1000 than to 500. I have an obsession with the Lipless Bait. Brian. 

[GreenPig]

I'm somewhere between Maniacal and Nuts per Tennessee Boy's numbers above.

Welcome to the assylum 

[Jar11591]

If you only have 70 of one kind of bait, I’d say you’re doing a good job of repelling the bait monkey. 

[scaleface]

You guys ever have a yard sale, let me know.

[GRiver]

I’m ashamed…… I’ve got about 20…. That includes my two one knockers. I feel so inadequate right about now….. LOL. 

[Pat Brown]

I have a rule with lipless crankbaits.

 

I skunk with one, I don't order another.

 

I get snagged, I order 3 new lipless crankbaits to replace it.

 

If I catch a fish with a lipless crank, I order two in every color.

 

This is very very sound.

Why ,  I just bought a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap 1/2 oz.  in Red Craw yesterday !

[TnRiver46]

I’ve got a lot!!! 50 something surely

Using @Tennessee Boy's latest numbers from the American Psychological Society concerning lipless crankbaits, seems I'm creeping up into the " The Nuts" category.  Which I'm OK with.

However, diving even deeper into this deal reveals that it's the banding

and after market hardware change on each and every bait that

truly scratches my itch.

Think I’ve got 5. Not enough grass in our lakes to use them much.

[Phelptwan]

I've got 3700's with all the dividers removed stuffed full of them.  I pretty much use 3...

 

Sometimes I don't know what's wrong with me.

[Bankc]

I think I have six.  That's about five too many.
