How many lures do you have?

[Steve Jonesi]

Have a couple thousand, carry 40 or so and usually fish with 10 or less. Steve

Just counted mine. I have 136. I'll be starting my 3rd year of muskie fishing on Saturday. So maybe in a few years I'll have as many as Cliffy & Porterhouse. Went to Sportsman's Warehouse today to pick up some more hooks. Ended up spending close to $100. Just had to get some more jerkbaits.

This was bugging me so I went out and counted. 578 lures, and two Plano boxes of cannibalized baits or parts. I would hate to see what I had before two tupperware tubs and a Monster Lakewood got snatched. I use 19 lures on a regular basis.

After you hit 500 I think you've breached into the "crack-pot" category. I counted how many plugs and bucktails I had before I moved a few years ago..........almost 700. Ad in jigs and creatures in the last few years,larger Rapala's, Zara Spooks and multi-speices cranks 4-6 inches, and I'm well over a thousand.

With as many lures as I have, when I hit the water: I rarely change lures. I know what baits work at whatever time of year, water clarity, lake/river I'm heading. I'll carry no more than about a dozen lures. No suitcases anymore weighing 70 pounds a piece! Those esox box's full of plugs and hair can really get in a mess when your on full plane going across some big sprawling water. I'm also not a mimmicker of leaving plugs laying around the gunnels, splashwell or anywhere they can later reap havoc.

Sheesh - I just go by the weight of my tackle box. 44lbs

You know you have to many lures in the boat when you have to move boxes to even out the wieght in a 20' boat.
