So, I went to dicks this am....
I found pretty much what I wanted.
I stopped on the way to the register
And asked myself, how much difference will this purchase really make, when I get to the water?
I love nice tackle. High (relatively) end rods and reels, tungsten, flourocarbon etc..
It is good stuff, and it is superior. It makes for a wonderful experience.
It is also expensive.
I reconsidered, put it all back, and decided to make due with what I have.

Catching fish on older stuff (tackle) is cool. It worked then, why not today?
Earlier this year, I sold a ton of stuff...not the economy but I never used the stuff. And I don't miss it!! The BRHS Fishing Club will be he beneficiary of lots of bags of soft plastics. They will all catch fish!
Anyone want a $50 Dick's Gift Card for $43.50? If anyone wants a 15% discount right off the bat, let me know.

I used to take used senkos and carve them into micro jig dressings for panfish and winter bass.
Something about laying open that magical senko potion with a razor blade got me o lot of bites,on tough cold days

Such self control! I got a hold of a few of Ernie's goodies. Great gear at a fraction of the cost! I can't wait until the next time some of his current gear gets moved to the never used stuff And that's a good idea with the senkos. I'll have to give that a try.

No, there is no such thing as too much. I highly recommend everyone go out and buy some more right now.
Truthfully, I have begun to limit myself in the last couple years to what I will realistically use. I will buy in bulk but only stuff that I use all the time.

I'll admit it. Sometimes when I lose a lure or a rod breaks, part of me is a little excited because it's an excuse to buy more stuff.
They're currently building a Dick's out here in Culpeper. This is going to be bad for my wallet.

This is a trick question.

I am not much of an organizer. A guy can get by with less. Generally, a few basics will get it done if it can be done. Beyond that, a key item or approach can make all the difference on a certain day.
Even so, I am usually at least compettitive--from the back of the boat, with a fraction of the hardware my ace tournament buddies throw
