I had a break from fishing for a few years, moved house, new town.
When I started up again I discovered they had made many advances, braid fireline those beautiful little low profile baitcasters and all those lures.
I had to have a variety of lures of course. Different lures for different fish and situations, so they just kept rolling in.
My wife said one day you seem to be spending a lot on lures. My excuse was I used to spend a lot on bait and you couldn't bring it home. Anyway I just buy lures out of the loose change in my pocket. It builds up after a while, they only cost 7 to 15 dollars and I have never broken a note for a lure.
I would buy one whenever I drove past a tackle shop, there is always something new on the market.
Made a mistake one day, I left my lure box in the back of the waggon and my wife in the car while I slipped into a shop.
By a lure box I mean a large plastic box that holds around 6 of those trays designed for lures.
She must have done a quick tally and anounced when I was back in the car that I had a $1000 of lures in that box.
I was stuffed, I still had a few trays under the bench at home.
So just a word of warning, put them away someone might count them.
