| I've been divorced for about 7 years. The court accepted her value estimate of my tackle at that time. I did not contest her figures. Since I don't know anything about statute of limitations regarding such as above...... |

Location: Tinley Park. Fish Cen IL. Bass & Vilas Cty.Muskie | 3 big Muskie Boxes of baits(sleeves laid down- baits just packed inside), 2 full size dressers of baits and about 40-3700 boxes packed with bass baits(30-50 each) and maybe 5 boot boxes packed with bass baits. I just stopped buying any great deal of bass/Muskie baits from 1980-2000(pre china).I was spending $200/month for last 3 years on Internet swap sites. |

| I've my own lil baitshop everyone says, I fish at least 300 days a year for every species so you do the math, don't forget to include the ice fishing gear. |

| I think most fishermen have memorized every lure in their tackle box. I would suggest that you make a list, look up the prices on Rollie & Helens, and derive a precise number. Rollie & Helens (web site or catalog) is a good source because they have a wide selection and "typical" prices.
For most dedicated musky hunters, I think the amount would be in the thousands of dollars.

| I think we can be overwellmed with our purchases. Might be a better IDEA to invest in private security at the launch and at our cabins............LOJACK everything!!!!
What is our world coming to?
Think twice about personal purchases from unknown individuals for sure.

| $3500-$4000 in rods,reels, tackle. I usually add about $300 a year in tackle to fill in colors and new lures. Don't really need to, but in Canada if you need a lure, they pretty much don't have what you want, so I carry my own store with me. I sure don't carry all the boxes in my boat, but if I need something I've got it in the cabin. |

| Only my second year into the hunt and just over $3000 worth of tackle. |

...Now I have separate rider for my fishing gear thats good for $15,000 about $12,000 of that is all Muskie gear thats been collected over 20yrs+.
Good thinking Tim. I did the insurance rider thing a bunch of years ago to cover accumulated fly fishing gear. It was just 5K but I always felt good about it. I upped it to $10K when we switched carriers.
My wife is completely in the dark about what stuff costs, but she's not stupid either. In the event of my untimely death (seriously) my wife KNOWS not to just firesale the stuff on the front lawn or anything. |

Closing on a new home tomorrow and I can't wait to put up the new "wallpaper". . . A wall of colors, a wall of lures. |

| HAHAHAHA I always hang all my stuff on a wall during the winter and tell the wife it is to keep it from rusting in the Lakewood...... |

| with all the money most of you guys have invested in lures. my question would be of all of your lures how many do you still use? do you go through hundreds of lures over the course of the season or do you have your favorite few that get fished most of the time. |

Over the course of an average season, fishing maybe 35 days?
I probably use two dozen different lures. I might use 4 or 5 during a week up on Eagle, and yet I bring half of my lures up there with me. Why IS that... |
