i buy plugs because i feel like i have to have it because i am going to go out one night and that is going to be the only thing the fish will want to eat, and the next day i will go to buy them and they will be out so I better get it now. the funny thing is i always end up using the same 5 or 6 plugs. LOL.
That is my true answer. i have issues, just ask my wife.

i bent my wookie

same here, but just my capital one card statement last summer.

i picked the "to buy because everyone else is doing it." i was trying to be trendy.

I put down buy to collect but could have used multiple choices.
Some I`ll fish and some I won`t.

Growing up in a big poor family where to get a Goldfish or Daredevil was a big deal is somehow fuel for the fire nowadays. I have way too many. Its not healthy I`m sure and I only started around 98.


I should be in a lure asylum



Good health and family

Well I am done buying for the year I have to watch the cash flow due to using twice as much in the tank, I don't want to change anything but if I don't lose it I don't need a new one. plus My CC are maxed out

I have a ton to fish and some to collect. I even fish vintage lures sometimes but not nice condition or better ones unless I have multiples or they might be plastic or balsa and I just have to know how they work.

Good health and family

I have two wall hangers, a Jitterbug and a handmade popper, both given to me by friends who are no longer living. All the others are for fishing, although I'd need an enormous bag to carry all of 'em. Maybe a shopping cart with big tires

I don't buy to collect. Mine collection consists of fellow builders' trades or gifts from friends.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
