Going to be in trouble

I have two monster bass pro shops and, sportsmanswarehouse and a sports academy and no one has what I need,,,,lol

Sounds like "winner winner fish dinner"! Any pics of those new ties?

This is a well stocked shop, high end trout/ guide shop, but he doesn't have everything! I am embarrassed to take pics anymore. Old tech phone and old tech user, pics just don't show these jigs/flies off very well.

Used to buy marabou by the pound and have flash in 1 oz. and larger for back in the day when I was tying wholesale, even did some fishing sport shows for awhile. Retired from all of that and have enough materials that I couldn't use it all in several lifetimes. Still hit the shops but have a little more discipline now than I did before. Except last year when the Stardust paint came out and dropped a few hundred on that. Like how jigs turned out with it but haven't used it in months. When it comes to fishing I'm a hoarder.

Dam I swear your story matches mine. My job was 5 minutes from Barlow Tackle. I use to go twice a week and buy tying materials. They closed in-house shopping and went online shopping only when COVID hit. I have not purchased anything from them since then. I have enough materials for 5 lifetimes but still buy if it is a super deal. I guess this addiction is better drugs or drinking.

RUN NOW!!! LOL

I wish my credit card would just ask me if I really needed this stuff!:biggrin

I wish mine would just go ahead and order the stuff I need, and not put a limit on what or how much I get...

My wife does this!, limit and :bash

I enjoy tying flies/jigs. We used to get all kinds of stuff mail order - had an old geezer teach me about 40 yrs ago, guy was good.

I'll probably start again once I find me a good brim/bluegill/shellcracker area and start fly fishing again.
