Now that these shows are over, I find myself sneaking down to the basement to layout all the plugs -- needles, spooks, metal lips, etc. -- and spoons and tins, plastics, line and other gear, several times a night and morning (before and after work) and sit with all my new stuff (and old) as I get ready for the season ... the timing is too long and I can't wait much longer ... the addiction is becoming so strong ... that I wonder if it is for the fishing or just the shiny plugs.

Anyone else having these same experiences? Are you sitting mindlessly spinning your reels over and over nonstop for hours, walking around with your surf sticks in your hands ...?

After more than 30 years of fishing, I've never had it so bad as I am having it this season ...

But these shows had so much great stuff, that they made the addiction stronger ... how much longer?
