How Many plugs
 
Have you lost last season?

I set a new record and only lost 2, one I made at Cuttyhunk and one fathead 3 oz. popper at the herring run up north here. I bet it is still hanging in that tree

Slingah 11-24-2007 02:01 PM

I actually don't think I lost any!!! a record for sure...

onsetangler 11-24-2007 02:13 PM

Lost a Pt. Jude Sea Scallop.....the found it on my first cast the next day! Didn't lose any ( jigs not included) and found 3 after Noel ...all around good year in that department.

rivsie11 11-24-2007 02:14 PM

None. Of course, I was living in Wyoming all season, so it was hard to lose them.

I take it back...not wood, but I dropped a bunch of Pt Jude tins and wobbleheads out of my bag when I slung it over my shoulder while on a six mile walk led by some tall guy on here...:doh:

BigFish 11-24-2007 02:23 PM

Ahem!:jester: Ummmm......I think I lost maybe half a dozen? I didn't lose them while I was wearing a skirt on a six mile walk though!:rolleyes: Lost them to some fish!:laugha:

l.i.fish.in.vt 11-24-2007 03:26 PM

between the seals and the bluefish i lost close to a hundred plugs and tins this summer on the cape.

luds 11-24-2007 03:36 PM

7 or so. I'm good for leaving them on my bedrails or on my back bumper and driving away. I can think of 3 I lost that way. Lost two hab's while fishing. One to a lobster trap and one to an open snap. They both hurt. :o

Adam_777 11-24-2007 03:42 PM

5 for me this year.Had a chipped eyelet that accounted for two small pencil poppers of the plastic yo-zuri type.Lost a Pt.Jude Wobblehead to a lobsterpot.I had another one of those big Yozuri pencil's that let fly to a freyed line.One canal special to the open waters from the same freyed line.On my final trip of the season walking along a rocky stretch I found an AH Fatboy laying in a weedbed @ lowtide.Made up for all of my lost tackle.All in all wasn't bad but I did spool up this year alot from blues and freyed PP.I need to get a better line.

Clogston29 11-24-2007 03:49 PM

only two. a wobblehead to a lobster pot and a blurple 3 oz hab's needle to a high 30s - low 40s bass while guiding it by the leader to a cranny in the rocks where I could land it. That hurt - watching her slowly go down to the bottom and swim away with my last big blurple habs.

RNC 11-24-2007 03:53 PM

I lost about 12 mostly Tattoo's to rocks on braided line. Some Pt Jude tins some poppers and the 1 that hurt the most was my Hab's needle.

numbskull 11-24-2007 04:56 PM

Lost one needle to a seal, a Tagger needle to a bad knot :realmad:, and threw away a successful prototype 3 oz wood SS clone needle, a prototype small Frech banana (lucky baztard who finds that), and my most productive Lazyfish handcarve. What a moron.

tynan19 11-24-2007 05:04 PM

5 for me. I think I lost all five in 2 days in RI this fall. Blues had something to do with it. A couple were on the drift. Didn't even feel them hit.

OLD GOAT 11-24-2007 05:11 PM

lost a 4oz Hopkins to a fur fish after a half mile boat chase and a john Gibb's [skipper] with a front treble off the beach. Hard pendulum cast off the beach,right foot slipped on seaweed,pulled back muscle and cast snapped. by by to my last large Gibbs [skipper]

StriperSniper 11-24-2007 08:58 PM

I didn't lose a single plug to a fish,lost all mine to my kids and their friends.:scream2:

ilovetwofish 11-24-2007 08:59 PM

To many.

Tagger 11-24-2007 09:16 PM

zero

Backbeach Jake 11-24-2007 09:20 PM

Geeze, I lost two Thanksgiving morning alone. Maybe 20 total for the season.

quick decision 11-24-2007 09:32 PM

I lost two habs needles this spring in one spot. :wall:

YIKES :sick:

I didn't fish as much as l.i.fish.in.vt but I did lose between 30-40 to blues and seals
I lost 12 and 3 flies on one trip alone bluefishing, :devil:bastages
seals got a few of mine too but I got more fish in fast enough away from the seals than they got from me:gorez:

My most prized loss was a beachmaster Wad out on cutty on a cast off from a wind knot getting hung up on a guide during the cast:behead::(

The Dad Fisherman 11-24-2007 09:51 PM

Didn't lose much....1 PJ Wobble head and 1 PJ Butterfish and thats about it.

hyefisherman2 11-25-2007 12:10 AM

two on the same morning at the canal!

....new combo :huh:

Gunpowder 11-25-2007 02:16 AM

i think only two. believe it or not, i lost more cell phones to the water this summer than i did lures... i lost three!!!

RickBomba 11-25-2007 07:25 AM

One Mac canal special first cast first trip watching Rappin Mikey reel in a 38, and not paying attention to the trees.
Good news is that I cast off another at Cutty and spent an hour casting at it and finally got it back to shore :).

Bigcat 11-25-2007 08:47 AM

Two Salty needles to tuna, and one popper to operator error. :D

bart 11-25-2007 09:24 AM

i lost all my favorite plugs this season except for one, a herring MAC danny. only the strong survive....

JohnR 11-25-2007 09:56 AM

I lost a half dozen plus but the most painful loss was a Jigman Spook - several years old, but an AWESOME fish producer. Almost afraid to use it at times and never when blues are around, I was like an overprotective father with that plug :wall:

Brother Brian 11-25-2007 10:41 AM

Two. Both ancient Gibbs plugs; a black needlefish and a 3 OZ yellow darter. Lost them both the same way; while putting them back in my bag I got pasted by a wave and they were gone...

MAC 11-25-2007 11:46 AM

5; 2 hab's needles to the bottom, A salty needle to an operator error (forgot to take the line off the roller) an Eastend Lu bottle darter and my favorite......a large blue Tagger needle:( That one really suked as it was 1 of only 2 lures producing that night. A blurple bomber and THE NEEEEDLE.:bc: Once that neeeedle was gone the fish wouldn't touch anything:wall:

On the bright side; I didn't lose a plug to a seal. Didn't get out on the Race either even though I had a sticker. :(


Now if we talk jigs................. probably 30 to 40. Left 8 on the bottom one night. Packed it in after that.:hs:

lurch 11-25-2007 12:19 PM

1 SS black and orange needle and 1 Habs 'gale but maybe 50 jigs and metal in the canal.
