Red face Is this a problem......?

Last, while taking a shot break from the lathe it came upon me to count all the plugs I have hanging in the cellar devoted and built for taking Striped Bass. There are 1,154.

What on God's green earth does someone need with 1154 striper plugs?

I am a sick individual.

Why even try.........

Repeat after me, "My name is Steve and I am a plugaholic"

now start your 12 step program by handing over your stash to ME

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

That count was higher a year or two ago ...

I can take 10% of those off your hands, you won't miss 'em, and they will go to a great cause

Thumbs up

I have been fishing for 4 seasons and have between 200 and 300 plugs. That being said I would also be happy to take some of yours off your hands. I would also not mind seeing some pics.

There was a wise old sea captain that once said; " I have just begun to fight" well he had 1200 plugs and was looking for more.

There is a lesson to be learned here.

It's not bad enough that I can't get near a B&T without buying a couple, I had to start building them, too. I'd have as many as you, Steve, if I didn't spend so much time trying to plug with a conventional last year. I made Posiden very happy... Plugs cause mass-insanity. BTW whattaya building?
