Subject: How many biats do you guys have.


I just went threw and organized my baits and came up with a count of 216 baits. I was just wondering what else everyone had out there. And out of those baits i normally only throw one lure. The suick.

If you mean total musky baits, those that I take along, plus those in the bullpen that get left at home and called up on occasion, plus those I will never throw as collectors or as junkers, the last time I counted I was at 517 lures.

I used to have over 500, in the past couple of years I have whittled this down to about 200 or so. I've come to realize it's not so much the bait as it is location and presentation.

Hehehehehe.My name is Steve and I'm a recovering bait addict. I used a ton, but always kinda collected/accumulated.I got rid of at least a couple hundred the last couple years, but can't even imagine counting 'em all. Are you guys counting hair and such or just hard baits?Heck, I have over 100 of the big rubber things alone.Pretty scary. If I ever get hit upside the head and decide to have a garage sale, you're all invited. Cash or check only!!! Steve

G'lawd, Steve!!!!

Not sure how many I have. One frustrating day last year I counted 53 baits laying on the front deck - under the gunwhales, lining the consoles, behind the depthfinder, hanging from the flap at the bow that the holds the TM wiring, my dog's tail (yes, she was walking around with a Grandma in her bushy tail... note to self, do not leave 53 muskie lures laying in boat with dog) - and at least another 25 in the box and a few in various compartments. Probably another 25 hanging from the rafters in my garage.

I have no idea how many other baits I have, but musky baits are easy for me to count. I just picked up the musky bug last year so I'm still accumulating them. I think I had about 30 that I use last time I counted. I have a couple junk baits that have been handed down to me or that I made when I was a kid that don't get used but are laying around. At the end of this year I'll probably have about 40 baits. I have a long way to go to get 500!

I can't imagine trying to count them all. 300? Maybe more?

Not as many as Jonesi, but then again Rollie and Helen's doesn't have as many as Jonesi!

I would suspect somewhere in the 600-700 range. Ridiculous without doubt as I only throw about 70 of them through the course of a year.

Y'all know, it's a good idea to bring all of them out every now & then, take photos, and store the pics away in a safe place. If they are insured, you stand a better chance of convincing the insurance company that you really DID own 100 bulldawgs if they are lost, stolen, or burned up in a fire. m

ps - if you do want to take photos of your baits and rods / reels / accessories, a good time to do that is when the wife is out of town. Mine is not a 'snooper', and I can only imagine if she saw them all in one place at one time!

Mikie, if my bulldawg collection caught on fire it would be visible from space!
