How many lures do you own?

[Rattlinrogue]

Way too many!Baits that I actually use frequently number about 15-20.Baits that I own "just in case",at least 500,maybe more.I sure wouldn't want to count 'em.

[Bud]

TO MANY.

[Bankbeater]

I have to show my wife this thread. She is always telling me that I have enough baits.

[Raul]

You guys are CERTIFIABLE...

CRAZY!

The BaitMonkey is strong in me.

[Siebert Outdoors]

About 10.

I used to have a boat load, common sense finally caught up with me, now I stock up much like FC.

I buy bulk of what gets used. That would be soft plastics, but as for lures, my partner has a good collection of cranks, other than that, I have my topwaters and a few swimbaits so I'm sticking with the number 10.

This is the path I am headed to.  More then 10 lures but not near what I have.  I just have too much other stuff that needs used up.  Once its gone its not getting replaced.  

[TravisLovett]

I started to count, but around 200 or so I lost count so I just gave up.  That was kind of an eye opener.  See I just plan on when there is a nuclear fall out, I'm gonna have enough lures so i can fish for my survival.  Thats my excuse anyways.

No problem in being chicken, heck, I hate to admit it but I 'm chicken meself.  

[BassBeat101]

Not really a ton of tackle for me -

10 crankbaits

10 spinnerbaits

Maybe 3 or 4 topwaters (I usually use soft plastic frogs)

About 20 jigs

50 bags of plastics

Of course, I'm also very poor.  I shouldn't even really have half of the stuff I have here!  An 8 X 8 room full of lures sounds lovely.  Sigh, someday...

[KenDammit28]

I own 4 crankbaits(two baby 1-, a bomber Fat A, one I found in an old tackle box), two jerkbaits(X-Rap and a Husky Jerk), Three topwater chuggers(Two Pop-n-Images and a Rebel Pop-R), Two Jitterbugs(black one and chrome one), a hula popper, and some three rapala lures I found in the same old tackle box. Thats one 370 box

I have about 6 different colors of Horny toad/Yum Buzz frogs(yellow, white, green pumpkin, black, black/red, watermelon/red), thats a 370 box

I have a box filled with different color stikbaits...maybe 8 different colors..it also has three different tubes and green pumpkin baby brush hogs in it...

the last box has 9 jigs(most are black or black/blue) with assorted color trailers and 6 chatterbaits.

in the side pockets of my bag I have one box that contains 48 zoom lizards, the other side has 35 flukes and a 360 sized box that contains finesse worms and grubs.

I have a spinnerbait box with about 20 blades, most are same color, different blade combos.

In the front zipper pocket I have 4 colors of trickworms(green pumpkin, black, white, junebug), and some more finesse worms and a couple different colors of tiki sticks.

thats all I'll ever need. I don't buy more until i'm out of something and have never ran out while on the water. The biggest replacements I make are with frogs because I fish them A LOT.

So in total its 15 different lures..about 200 pieces or so if counted all separately.

EDIT: I forgot three more lures..two Zara Spook Puppies, Two Heddon Torpedos, and a pack of wildeye live crappie swimbaits.

I THINK thats all....

YESSS!!

Actually I am a 13 yr. old fisherman that recently undertook the transition from panfish and trout up to bass.  A couple of years ago, I inherited a lot of tackle from my grandad when he died.  Thought I was living in heaven.  As time went on, I learned how crappie some of the stuff was.  I have been getting rid of a whole bunch of that stuff.  All I have left of his are a couple cranks.  

Now, I have pretty much learned what I need and have been updating little by little.

At this point I have:

A large tackle box with 3 boxes and large compartment

11 jigs

3 spinners

3 buzzers

close to twenty inline spinners

7 bags of plastics

5 topwaters

6 cranks

12 spools of line

Plus some other stuff that I don't want to count

4 nice rods of my own. Plus 2 rods which are my dads main ones, and 5 that are for the rest of the family whenever they come with us.

Since I recently started better bass fishing, I have a whole bunch of other stuff for trout and panfish. Close to 500 hooks, about 30 bobbers, 13 jars of that stupid powerbait stuff and enough other useless stuff. My dad grew up with mainly trout and panfish, so I (and he) are basicly learning this from sratch.

I am in the market for a good supply of good lures, and scrounge ebay daily. If any of yall have any good ones to sell, I am ready. Preferably softbaits and spinners/buzzers.

[hi_steel_basser]

I won't say I have alot of lures, but I was recently attempting to organize it all and found a LC Sammy that I DIDN"T EVEN KNOW I HAD.   ;D It was an 85 MSMJ Herring color. I don't feel the need to eliminate tackle, I feel the need to buy more storage boxes.

[bait__Monkey]

I love Wal-Mart this thread.is having

                                                a huge

Bump

clearance sale

[Munkin]

Since I quit my sport compact car hobby and focus completly on fishing I have a few baits?

You may have a baitmonkey problem if you answer yes to any of the following questions:

1. You have more lures than you can physically carry.

2. You buy lures that you already have 3 or more of just in case they decide to quit making them.

3. You have any lures that had to be airmailed from Japan.

4. You have Japanese translation software so you can try to order more lures from Japan (Raul this one is probably you?)

I will add to this list as things come to me.

[hi_steel_basser]

3 out of 4 aint good (bad). I wold never buy the software. The bait moonkey don't want me spending unnessesary money in other directions.  

[bassboy1]

Just got back from Wallyworld.  Their clearance stuff is just about gone.  I had intended to get a good bit of the 3x baits, but they only had two different kinds.  So I got one bag of green pumpkinseed lizards.  I also got 5 other bags of other clearance baits.  And I got 2 manns baby minus cranks.  A minus 1 and a minus 4.  I meant to get a minus 8, but forgot.  On impulse, I got a Minn Kota temperature sensor.

I need some more green pumpkinseed worms, but they didn't have any, clearance or not.  I cannot afford much more, because I will be almost emptying my account with the fishfinder I am probably gonna buy from basspro05.

I need a job!  Danged old bait monkey.
