I have posted these pics several times, but now intead of having four 4 x 4 boards, I am down to 3... For my casting baits that is. For my trolling baits, most are still in tackle boxes. I have them widdled down to less than 150 baits... Oh, but then there are the plano boxes with baits unter 7", which I have dow to 4... boxes that is. I have been able to sperate all my pike stuff out of this mess of muskie lures. I have those skinnied down to 9 plano boxes... I think I am making progress...
Yes, Chad, but without your illness how would we all benefit from your posts on the Buy, Sell, Trade board???? HAHA! I've got an alarm on my computer that rings if Chadster posts a new thread in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum because there's bound to be SOMETHING good!!!! :D
In fact, I see about 10 baits on your left 4x4 board that I want... lol!
I view it as my own stimulus package to fuel the economy... Fortunately, I have made some "money making" lure investements in the past. I have been able to offset some of my losses with Manta and Tuffshad sales on eBay. You have to love it when the value of a lure actually goes up... |

Location: Ohio | This is a great thread. I thought I had a problem, but I agree with mseybert. If I lined everything up on a wall, it would look like a good start!
I like a few guy's have bought baits from Chad. But Chad, don't let Chris (Tuff Shads) hear that. He "tried" to rip me about what some of mine were going for on Ebay. I guess he doesn't know how Free Enterprise works. Apparently only he is allowed to make any money! LOL |

With the tuff shads, I have had most of them for years, and then when they went bonkers on eBay, I figured I had other "tools" that would do a similar job, so i sold them. So it wasn't like i went to Chris, then quickly turned around a sold them. Now the Manta's on the other hand... I picked up about 50 from retailers and sold them on eBay for an average of $10 profit each. That was kinda fun. Anyway, off topic....
You guys aren't givin it to Muskymike68?? I think he has me beat? Mike, i think i am ahead of you by at least 1 or 2 steps in the program, so if i can be of any assistance, i would be happy to help. Would you like my number? You can call any time...

Location: Palm Coast, FL | The best private collection I have ever seen is Crazy D's outside Eau Claire. Unreal to say the least. I think he has as many baits for sale as not for sale! |

Location: Twin Cities | I saw a guide's collection once this year at his place, absolutely stupid number of baits. Makes anything here look like peanuts. No offense guys, some great stuff, but nothing compared to this individual's collection. |

Whats his address, and do you know if he plans to be out of town anytime soon?

Location: Northwest Chicago Burbs | I have the same illness as the rest of you! I believe lure color these days is the culprit! Back in the 80's there were really only 5 colors to choose from for each lure. Now holy smokes! custom custom custom! |
