Hi, my name is cow tamer and I've got a problem. Just too many good lures out there that I can't seem to resist. Keep buying more without having used all of the ones I've already got. Anybody else suffer from this sickness? Is there a PA group out there?

I'm Bob F. and I suffer from the plugoholism and also fly gear addiction. It is a heavy load to carry through these winter months.

hi, my name is paul and i'm a plugaholic....

It's called Plug Aquisition Syndrome or PAS.
BTW, there is no known cure:rotf2:
The only relief for the symptoms is to aquire more plugs (It is temporary relief at best):bgi:

Bernzy

i need some releif in the form of yellow big surf howdies :hihi:

Hi my name is Woody and I too am a plugaholic....

My name is Kierran and I'm a plug junkie. It's nice to know there is more of us out there. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

i am a recovering plugaholic but recently fell off the wagon.

I want to be Luds and Clogstons' Sponsor :happy: :happy: :liquify: :btu: :wavey:

I do not have this "Plug" illness, but agree that it IS an illness. :poke:

I would suggest a meeting to discuss your problem in a group setting. We could meet on the rocks at mid-tide when the surf is up, just before dark. For all those inflicted, please bring your plugs in plain brown paper bags. Hand them to me and I will make sure that you never see them again.

Of course, in order to control your urge to buy more plugs, you will hafta hand over all your cash as well. Lastly, I will need all of your IP adresses so I can send out a virus that will not allow you to access fishing-related sites such as this. :biglaugh:

haha you guys think you got it bad? I'm surrounded and they're closing in...Try making em every day day after day after day after day :D

Next meeing of plugaholics anon is at the risaa show :hee:

Hi my name is Eric and its been six days since I last bought a plug...

and then I oftentimes fear for my pluggage. When bluefish show up, my pluggage, my poor, poor pluggage. I miss them when they're gone. Need to make sure I have enough pluggages and try to keep them away from those bad, bad bluefish.

Hi, my name is Bob and I have a "little" problem. I have enough freshwater gear to outfit half of China. NOW I have discovered STRIPERS. Now I have a "BIG" problem. Where will it all end?


55 days (and counting) till I see saltwater...

Hi my name is Bruce and Im a fisherman , and I am powerless over the plug ..." How bitter sweet "

Hi my name is Bruce and im a fisherman , and Im powerless over the plug ..."How Bitter Sweet "

I thought that I was OK until I cleaned out the sand sled today. Haven't been on the sand since min-Nov. and there were at least 20 plugs and jigs in there. Might as well just leave them. I wake at 2:30 AM thinking about color schemes and types of plugs. Constantly thinking about what to turn next. ( I think dannys for a while) Plug this and plug that all day and night . Crap !! I'm outa pikie lips and 1/0 swivels. I'm sinking.........:spin:

Hi my name is Eric and its been six days since I last bought a plug...

:bl2:

Sometimes I bypass all the other forums just to scan the classifieds looking for anouther fix, I always say "this is my last one". I could quit if I wanted to.

Hi, my name is Jess, and I'm a plugaholic.

I admit that I'm powerless when it comes to PAS and that only through the help of my higher power, which I choose to call Morone Saxatilus, will I be able to go back to live lining and chunking.

My sponsor has told me to speak up more in meetings and to stay away from people, places, and playthings that would tempt me to purchase more plugs...............................

I always thought he waz full of SHEEEEET!

I CAIN"T BE CURED!!! I'm not DONE till I own all the plugs ever built by anyone, anywhere, for anything STRIPEY!!! I NEEEEEED wood, plastic, rubber all artificials EVER MANUFACTURED, EVER!!!!!

So, who's with me? We'll go camou, black our faces, sport ninja black attire, and there's a particular BassPro Shop I know of that needs a midnight inventory reduction mission. They're the pharmacy, dooods, we ain't hurting the guy on the street, we'll just hit the man. If that works and we don't get busted, there's a #^&#^&#^&#^&'S opening up around the corner from me with delivery trucks scheduled for......................

Oh.................YEAH, I gotts it Baaaaaaaaaaad!!!:bl: :bl:

If you had too many plugs would you commit plugicide?

:hee:

Just dont anyone start telling us about thier relationship with thier blowup :love: plug. That would be too much information.

Hi,

I believe I might have a mild case of plug addiction ... it's not too bad though ... :wiggle: ...

sorry andy- you're terminally afflicted...

Yes I have a major issue, please send plugs :rotfl:
I need help a.s.a.p

Hi my name is Bruce and im a fisherman, and Im am powerless over a good looking plug ...

I may be a plugaholic-lets see.

On Friday I snuck down the elvevator at work, stood at a corner and a Jeep pulled up. I got in and we went around the block. I handed the driver some money in exchange for a brown paper bag. I got out and got back to work with a bag and a Bernzy Commander.

Does that qualify?

I saw a new stapler in my office the other day and had to look twice, I thought it was a plug!!!!

You guys all say you've got a problem but I like to see the proof.



PICS PLEASE!!!!!!

:sled: :cool: :rotflmao: :kewl:

I'm a jigaholic. But only by necessity. I probably leave 50-100 a year somewhere on the bottom of a lead mine called the Canal.

Plugs? Nah. I spend less than $100 a year on them. I have hundreds to start with that I've accumulated over almost 40 years. New wood is nice, but I catch all the fish I want on plastic Atom 40s and Atom Jrs that averaged about $5 a pop when purchased. Some of the Jrs were like $3.99 on sale at Bennys. I still have dozens of Gibbs Canal Specials that I bought for $4 or $5 apiece right from the old shop in Sagamore Beach. All of the Hawg seconds that didn't cost me a nickel. Plus the "donations" I got for various favors I've done folks. I'm set for life. I might by one or two of something new just to try out (latest venture was 2 Hab 3 oz pencils when Mike had his blowout sale), but that's about my limit for any one year.

Your beyond hope Petey, way beyond hope.:hf1: :spin:

Ya! Big problem here!!!:scream: :hihi:

I had a slip.
I was doing fine and then a friend asked me to meet him at the RISA show.
I was hanging in there and then I went by the Afterhours booth. I blame Don. After the first plug it was a blur. Tattoo darters, Pt. Judes, a bunch of RI Poppers.

Now I am back at day one. 24 hours without buying a plug.

sorry, I prefer bait



does that make me a bad person ?

Fortunately for me, I was able to tie myself to the post in the basement so that I could not get down to the RISAA show, although I called a number of people there incessantly to try and get my fix ... as the weekend wore on, I started to ween. :hf1:

My story is the same as Bobf
My "friend" TattoBob talked me into going to the show.No problem, Just another fishing show, or so I thought. Seems Bob knows almost all the plug builders and most of the vendors. So weil Bob chatted with all thees dealers and manufacturers I had to stair at all the merchandise. I was fine till we got to the After hours booth. when I came to I was sitting in my truck in the parking garage with no money and a bag full of hand crafted beauty's. Pink ones, yellow ones, Blue and white, and those mac pattern ones with the joint in the middle. Names like Tattoo, Gags, Salty buggers. My hands are shaking just thinking about em. And don't get me started on the custom rods and the VanStall booth.

I need help!! :eyes:

I always thought that plug addiction was something that happens to other people, I never thought it could happen to me. Sure I bought a few plugs to toss here and there. I thought I had small collection, maybe 30-40 plugs.....that is until last week when I decided to do an inventory...for sheets and giggles.....:conf: UH.....tripple digits easy, and here I am! I am PrisonFish and I now know I have a problem.
