I think that it plagues not only me.
Going through a tackle boxes I cant beleive just how many fishing lures i have:
In my 30 year's fishing experience I have:
~70 Jerk Bait ~15cm – Like Strikepro , Agat etc.
1x big box for Jig’s with eatable softbaits and worms Keitech , Reins etc.
1x big box with soft Bites bigger sizes
1x big box with spoons and spinners
1x box for cranks and twitch baits rapala, yo-zuri, MegaBass etc.
And few boxes with stuff which I already do not use.
Few times I done inventory and lot of stuff give away to younger enthusiast!
And I still have some ideas what I should buy and to test …
I always try create some self top lure rankings like others do:

But anyway opinion changes time to time and when I come to the fishing shop I feel like kid in candy shop
What is your experience?
