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.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
