Tm Customs Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Since I have'nt been fishing in a while I was sorting through my stuff, I was wondering if I have gone completley overboard over the years? Does everyone have this much stuff? Thousands of crankbaits, millions of plastics hundereds of spinnerbaits and jigs too many spools of lines. Where to begin?

siebler_custom_baits Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I got more . naw joking but i got a lot. I have a 40 gallon rubbermaid full of plastics that i refill with. I carry 6 wormbinders that barly close with the velco, 2 spinnerbait/buzz boxes, a large hooks box, a jerkbait box, 2 crank boxes, my jig binder, and sometimes a swimbait box. All this goes on my kayak along with like 5 rods, the fishfinder and baittank and so much more. And i never have enough with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebler_custom_baits Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 ok you have more cranks. I only carry 2 boxes of cranks with about 30-40 baits per box. I use big flamabue boxes. Other baits are laying around in my workroom and everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeter Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 You're all crazy. I have one old plano crankbait box for storage. Other than that I have one tackle box with selected lures and that is all. I only carry three rods on the boat. Only two on deck at any one time. That's all of the tackle that I need to fish for bass any time of year, anywhere in the States. Skeeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I inventoried my fishing stuff last winter. Figuring the crankbaits at a low three bucks each, not including my bait making stuff or boat I had over $12,000.00 in fishing junk. I really need to unpack some stuff and sell it. I's skeered if I do they'll start biting some old crankbait that's been packed away for years that's just been sold! That don't include a guy's stuff I bought last week. He decided (or his wife did) that he was through fishing. He's been to Bass pro and my place and bought over $3000.00 back in the spring. I gave him $500 for all of it. The rod and reels are worlh ove $1000.00 I'm sure I needed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tm Customs Posted July 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 We don't need to start on rods I have 10 Daiwa Hearland Z that cost from 400-500 not to mention a handful of custom rods and 1000.00's worth of daiwa reels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeryTY Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 You guys are KRAAAAZY. I have a fly rod, a light spinning rod and a casting rod (which does double duty with a baitcaster and spincaster reel). On the lure sides 1 fly box with a good mix of flys, 1 small plano box with about a dozen mixed spinner & jig lures & another with shot, hooks, weights and split rings. I carry it all in 2 rod cases & 1 fishing pack does double duty as either a lure box or fly vest. This may not sound like a serious question but it is, what do you do with all your rods and all those baits? I mean how can you just pickup and go fishing when you want?

siebler_custom_baits Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 well i own tons of rods like these other guys but when i want a quick trip with the kayak i just take a wormbinder a spinner a topwater and a crank and my hooks and 2 rods ( a allstar 6'6" MH with a pflugar trion and a light wormrod). When im going on a short trip w/o the yak i take a rod and the same tackle. Short trips are like less than 2 hours. Now if you could see my kayak during a tourny .

Tm Customs Posted July 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 I have my stuff set up in different boxes that have diffrent stuff for the diffrent spots, I usally take a 360 with cranks and a few jigs, a worm binder with a few plastics and hooks spinnerbaits, ect I never take that much stuff with me its just nice to know I have most everything I will ever need. As far as rods go for me and anyone else who has tryed them hearland Z's are the best yes they are kinda expensive but if you break one daiwa will send you a new one, they are the lighest and most sensitive as well. Recently I went to buy a new cranking rod and could'nt find a single one that compared to any or my daiwas ay fishermans to me there the best.

WidowMaker Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 How can anyone afford to spend that much money on fishing tackle.....are you guys rock stars or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I simply dont spend money on anything else.

Tm Customs Posted August 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 WidowMaker, I sell tackle on Ebay thousands of senkos and tons of crankbaits, mostly I buy huge lots of older tackle and split them up when you buy 100 crankbaits at 1.00-1.50ea and resell them for 5.00+ on average. Yesterday I sold a Bagley's Dkb2 for 190- that I bought for 1.50 so to me it never seems like I am spending money what ever goes into the paypal account gets spent on tackle. I could be making a ton of money selling the stuff, but I like to buy more so it seems like I am just trading old stuff for new stuff. So it never seems like I am paying for the stuff I buy since I never see the money. Tm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 yea my paypal money always goes back to ebay on more stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I sure didn't go out and buy all my junk at one time. It came through years of fishing. I've been fishing since I was old enough to crawl around in the bottom of a boat. Through the years my collection has grown. Now I buy a little new stuff each year, buy other fishermen who quit for some reason out, and make my own. There's no way I could afford all the stuff I now own in a year. Also I have no ther hobbies, fishing and baitmaking, that's my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
