I saw the question on how many lures you have, and realized i only use about ten on a regular basis. How many do you acually use?

Sometimes just one in the whole day! But there are alot of times I might use 25/30 in a day! Depends how things are going! I carry at least 200 in the boat at all times and always have an assortment of different types, sizes & colors!

It can range from 1-10 in a day of fishing. Sometimes maybe more if I am getting frustrated.

One other thing I forgot to mention is that I tend to use a wider variety of lures in clear waters then I do in stained water! I don`t know why really but it always works out that way!

I may only use 5 lures in a day casting, maybe 10 or so trolling. I take alot, being a weekend fishermen, conditions change, maybe a lake I have not been to since last year, I want the best possible tool for the job.

Seldom more than 5-6 in one day. It's not always the same 5-6, though, but pretty close. If I could only have ten different models for the rest of my life I would be just fine.

I may use 6-8 different lures during a day. I keep three rods rigged at all times. Each has a different lure type, such as a Slammer Crankbait, Drop Belly Glider, and a topwater. I always try to throw something opposite from anything others in the boat are throwing, unless an obvious pattern developes.

I usually throw only a handful of baits throughout a certain day. Once a few baits start showing action in a certain year, they tend to get washed more. I do carry as many as I can though just in case. (Just ask litte Tuffy) Trolling, I can wash quite a few during the day. Maybe not different styles, but different colors of particular styles. BigMo, maybe you should give us some input on this. You like to wash alot of baits
Good Lungen,

Some days one is all it takes, others, the front deck looks like a mad painter got loose.
