No, it never ends...But, you sure could be spending your time and money are far lesser things.
I would suggest keeping that addiction to the jigs and platics because this one is a costly oneAttachment 307110

As long as somebody catches one fish on something I don’t have, well, I gotta buy it!
My brother, you have only begun. When it doesn’t fit in one picture, you’re still only halfway there. But enjoy it, we do.
How many Boats and kayaks do ya have!
Lake house or Home on the Lake!

I have a lot of stuff I have never or rarely used....and probably never will.
But I get a kick out of finding something new that works. I dig around in closeout boxes a lot though.
I just ordered a bunch of plastics that I don't have, and am waiting for them to come in the mail. I have the same addiction and make no apologies.:biggrin
it's called the dreaded"BAIT MONKEY" and when he gets hold of you, you're done
Oh Amigo, I'd need a bunch of pics!:juggleQuote:

CT Magged Saltwater reels, that hide in my sock and boxer drawer. Under the bed. Need rods for these :biggrin
Who needs Magged $300. CT Chrome Rockets, 1 piece aluminum caged reels out in West Texas :scratchhead
I have been able to slow down by doing this . Rid my tackle box each spring of those things not used in two years . Give it to needy kids that need a start into fishing (including reels ). The second .Matthew 6:19-21
I Like It! That's what I was thinking about doing too my tackle boxesQuote:

Two huge garage sales last year. Although both successes and I sold a ton of stuff. It barely dented what I have built up over the years. I have two 401 K s. One of them is the boring one. The other looks like tackle and in value is larger than the boring one.
Flea market dealer called about" buying it all " from Craigs List. Wife told him you can't afford all. He arrived looked around and said she's right. He bought 24 rod display unit. Each slot filled with a rod and reel combo. My buds call my garage Cabela's minus the huge aquarium.
There is no cure that I've heard of but it seems to only get worse over time.
It only ends with family intervention (read wife)

There is one cure I know of. Unfortunately, it comes with a pine box and a 6 foot deep hole. I have enough tackle for my children's children & I don't even have any kids. Just sayin' Enjoy the ride.

Rules to live by:
1. There is only ONE location that all of your tackle should reside together in (the boat). Other than that, you should NEVER allow more than 2 tackle boxes to be side by side at any one time. People will begin to think you have an issue (significant other)!
2. Fish are always going to be biting on something you don't have. So... if you don't have it, you should probably buy it!
3. Although it might be easy to ensure you know what you don't have, do not, under any circumstances, photograph all of your tackle. Again, this is evidence for the ones that don't understand. Best to purchase it an have an extra one then leave evidence laying around.
4. Never purchase just one of something. Always buy 3. You have one to try out, the second one in case they are really biting on the first, and the third as a backup!
5. Never compare your addiction to that of purchasing shoes... Shoes never put food on the table (unless, well, I can't say it but you know what I mean)
6. Never use the following words to significant other: "But (insert friend's name) has way more than I do". Especially if she is friends with (insert names) wife. You CAN however blame anyone else on the internet that you have not met. IE "WicklundRH has way more stuff than I do".
7. The next question will usually be: "If WicklundRH jumped off a bridge, would you"? Just answer YES and move on!
Fun things to do at a baitshop:
If you hear a guy asking what they are biting on, run over to a rack, grab ALL of a single color of baits, walk up to the counter and pay for them. Then say "We have been flat killing them on this bait". Offer to sell him a package for double what you paid for it"!
My wife paid to send me to a therapist for this very addition, she couldn't figure out why it was getting worse the more section I went to. She didn't know that the therapist she sent me to had the same problem. All I can tell you is don't be a quieter. Look at it as being an investment in your future :banghead:Rofl:cheers2
Everyone who comes to my basement says it looks like a tackle store.
Most collectors/hobbyists of other items are limited to just looking at them in a album or spread out on a table. But the fisherman can take his and do so much more, (cover his walls with peg board to display the collection, inspire a youngster for a lifetime, put food on the table, catch a world record, etc.). The amazing thing is the lures don't even need hooks to catch me. lol
I'm so sorry. You have my deepest sympathy. This is a crying shame. There's a growing number of people with the same disease as you. Just be tough man and things will work out, I promise. Never give up. On the the positive side, it isn't fatal.
Keep this in mind. "it's better to cast or spider rig than to never have cast or spider rigged at all"!!!:cheers2
