Super User Raul Posted May 10, 2007 Super User Posted May 10, 2007 I don 't agree with that Avid, if you have a rack show it, we should form the International Tackle Junkie Association. Hell, we can even work something out with tackle manufacturers and get volume discounts, ¡ sí se puede ! Quote

Brad_Coovert Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 You take your money out of your wallet, except maybe 20-25 bucks. You give the rest to the wife. Trust my wife with my money? Quote
wickyman Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Why not? It's not as though she can do any worse than you, unless she's got the home shopping monkey on her shoulder... lol Quote
BaitMS Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Why not? It's not as though she can do any worse than you, unless she's got the home shopping monkey on her shoulder... lol Let's be practical here...Can you honestly say that you want or can even use any of that CRAP that your wife buys? I didn't think so . What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine til death do us part!! Quote
michbass Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Its like a collection too me. I still have tons of walleye baits that I only use once or twice a year. I have bought tons of stuff I havent even used? I think I am like that with all my hobbies. I need help. Is there a program? Maybe I will start one. I have worn out catalogs just looking at stuff I have already looked at 50 times. BPS being down the street is the worst part. My name is Steve and I am a "anything to do with fishing holic" Quote
Brad_Coovert Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Why not?

She also has to pay retail prices for her stuff. ;D Mine are all at wholesale. Quote

moby bass Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Hi, my name is Jim and I am a tackleholic. All together now.... "HI, JIM" Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 Nothing worse then running out of some hot bait in the middle of a frenzy. There is nothing wrong with excess as long as it doesn't sink you financially. Quote

Here we go again...I really need to start making it to more group therapy sessions.Grab hands and lets say the serenity prayer. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 (is chuckling at Brent ) Keep this thread going we need any or all members to step forward and admit they have a problem.This is part of the 12 step process. Quote
Super User grimlin Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 Winter is gonna be bad....really bad for me.Bass season is closed as well. My girl is starting to complain at all the "junk" i have in the spare bedroom now.I'm gonna make an entire wall for strickly "my fishing stuff". Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Bait Monkey really isn't a problem unless you're spending more than you can afford - I know that when I'm sitting at home and have nothing to do, often I'll go to Dick's just for the heck of it and spend a bunch of money on stuff that looks cool, or stuff that I "need" more of. I have a great time picking the stuff out, and a great time pulling out all my tackle and placing the new items in their respective areas. It's been said before, and I'll say it again. Half the fun of fishing (sometimes a LOT more than half, depending on how good the fishing is) is the anticipation. I love sitting around the night before going fishing and just going through which baits I think I'll need and imagining where I'm gonna fish them and the huge fish I'm gonna catch. Usually doesn't work out that way, but the anticipation NEVER disappoints, and I have the bait monkey, in large part, to thank for that. That being said, it is still ridiculous how much I spend on fishing stuff. Quote
Davis Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Guilty here as well..... Can never make it out of Dicks without spending 30 dollars or so. Bass Pro Shops may be coming to Buffalo. Who knows.....the deal goes on and than the news says that Bass Pro isn't coming. Sometimes I think that if they do come than I'm screwed. I have a pretty big wishlist on BPS.com and cabelas.com is mounting as well. Come spring I will have a big order for *.com and probably a nice size one from *** as well. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 Right i agree Tony. Not just when I need something to do,but I also go to dicks or bps after a bad day on the water with the hopes to find something new that "will get em next time". Humor aside,fishing is a hobby to me but so is tackle collecting.I just like to have it,even though may not need it,and god knows we could find a lot worse things to spend our money on. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I havent bought a lure(s) in months. But I did just drop 100 bucks on lure making stuff. ;D Quote

Guest avid Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 I've heard eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-nuffffffff Your all just a bunch of winey wimpoid spineless crybabies My hero, Al Bundy would tell the women's "NO MA'M" And go out and buy all the JDM lures he could afford from selling one size fits all shoes to fat ladies who outgrew that size after their ankles swole up from chowin' down the Sam's club sized Dorito's knock offs. Hey that reminds me........ when all this womens lib first got goin' the womens said that a man should give his wife half his paycheck. I said great, Now she only gets half Quote
