Best excuse you've given for buying tackle.

[BASSclary]

What's the best excuse you've ever given a family member for buying fishing stuff, even when they don't want you too?

I've told my parent's "It's not for me, its for the Bait Monkey."

and when my cousins were born - " I got it for them, I'm just gonna make sure all the plastics in the bag are quality for them"

And my favorite "Well mom, it's Dad's fault. He shouldn't have taken me to Bass Pro. You both know I have a problem."

Lets here yours! ;D

[done]

"Because it's there."

[MattinOK]

The novel Silas Marner gave me my excuse. I just tell people I enter into a tackle sore, i go into weird trance. When I leave; I snap out of it. Whatever happens in between is not my fault. ;D

[bass or bass ?]

I don't need an excuse, my wife doesn't mind me buying tackle.

[Bassn Blvd]

Excuse? I don't ask. I just buy what and when I want. If she don't like it then I simply drag her by her long hair into her closet and remind her of ALL the purses and shoes she has. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  And if they don't work then I move on to the 200 bras and 500 pair of panties.   ;D ;D

"i heard these have been hot on the lake"

[boneil]

" Seriously Honey, it's an investment,  this tackle may help me win that upcoming tournament."

[grimlin]

It's on sale...That comes out of my mouth often...

[zero]

i always

i need it i'm almost out it works because she never checks my tacklebag ;D

[frogtog]

Don't have to have an excuse... my wife buys my tackle for me. If it looks good she buys it.

[I.rar]

eh , no excuse besides the 'just because'. as long as i spend a little here and a little there , i stay out of trouble.  ;D

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Ive not had an issue with the wife its the guys at work. They think Im nuts for spending $200 on a rod and $160 on a reel. Even when I buy lures, Im like hey guys I bought 3 frogs they are like, You're crazy just get crawlers :-? Then I feel the need to explain to them: That pack of smokes you just puffed away could have bought you a nice lure or over a year bought you a nice rod/reel combo. They dont say much after that.

Very lucky man.

[Captain Obvious]

"Cause one day I'll make millions on the Bassmaster tour and I'll buy you a Lexus with my first check"

Ok so my mom doesn't buy it, but she doesn't ask any more

[pa mountain man]

"If you buy 499 lures, the 500th one is free."

[Big Tom]

"Hey, I just bought this."

[Stasher1]

Excuse? Excuses are for when you've done something wrong.

I have reasons.

That's what she said, not what she meant.

"I need it."

"Looks like it would work..."

[hookingem]

We were in Texas this week visiting family i told my mom we couldnt get these lures in Virginia.
