How much tackle is too much tackle?

[Rev]

My wife thinks I'm nuts for having six or seven tackle boxes. What she does not realize is that each is specialized to match what I am fishing for and conditions.

Now, if I only had more time to actually go fishing!

I heard of a fellow years ago who bought a bait and tackle shop, thinking it was going to be the perfect business. It lead to divorce and bankruptcy...
Seems she spent her days behind the counter waiting on customers while he was out "field testing" the product line!

Rev I have more tackle than I need.I only take out one t-box at a time and it is slamed full.The funny thing I only use two or three baits out of it all.

I have 1000's of dollars worth but it always boils down to worms and lizzards for me at the end.

Yeah, I find I go back to using the same lures over and over. The tackle in most tackle boxes has caught more fishermen than fish! The Bass Pro and Cabela's catalogs have been very tempting over the years.

We are easy targets aren't we? We all like to fish and there are always new products coming out that we have to have!
