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?

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

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

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.

That's the thing with addiction. It's never your own fault.

In the end, it probably can all probably be put on my shoulders. you guys should have seen him tying to learn how to cast - he almost lost a finger the first time because I didn't tell him that he had to let go of the line
