I am considering adding more of the wall board and possibly putting the tackle into categories like at the store. [IMG]

OMG ! I've never been to the dark side. Dwight's tidy little assortment of bobbles and beads seemed a bit much, but it was cute and seemed manageable. This display by James must be the crack cocaine of tackle-osis. Can this really be the fish-Jones of one man?

Brett you are starting to sound like my wife. Everytime she goes into my manshed she complaines about the amount of money I have spent on fishing tackle. Now you can see why I need help in the tackle containment department.

James, I can't live like that. Being a person that has to open every package that comes on-site (sometimes on the way from the store), this just would not work for me. Not to mention that the level of one's "habit" is worn on the wall where everyone can see, no secrets!

Dwight I have about six tackle boxes of lures and things as well that have been opened and categorized. I know I know I'm hopeless.

James, I have been hopeless longer than you have been alive. It is obvious to me that you know exactly what you are doing, though!

Cabelas had a deal on split double tails. The regular price $4.49/bag of 25 was reduced to $1.89/bag of 25! I scored 5 bags each of my favorite colors, black and smoke. If you are unfamiliar with the split double tail, this is how beautiful they are

Dwight I just had something very exciting happen today. I discovered that hsb will hit green worms similar to your split double tail.

That is Gail and my favorite race track. We were there last November. I believe that was our 8th trip to TMS in 10 years. We used to go in April, but it rained pretty much every time so we switched to November.

When my recovering leg gets well enough I am going to make a trip to the basement and photograph and post my tackle area. The last time I made that trip to the basement it was a one way trip. As discussed elsewhere on this site, the return trip was on the EMS gurney as I messed up my leg which has left me recovering. Anyway, Cabelas has a sale now and has some very nice looking rod storage items at less than half price. I already have something similar in the Browning brand that I bought at Bass Pro Shops, but some of these look very good: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...1502&id=0035940Bing

Bing, Those are great prices! I have the round type with the ball-bearing base. It holds the 24 most used rods. The spares are in rod tubes of various types, some that I haven't look into for a year or more. I suppose there is no sense in me reminding you to be careful on those stairs!

When I started organizing my tackle I was amazed that I had so much stuff. (over 50 unopened lures, etc.) I sorta thought I was to tackle what Amelda Marcos was to shoes. Then I see other people's areas and realize I am a piker.
When I look at Hank Parker and Bill Dance's pole barns on TV or DVD and see they have more rods on one wall than I have ever owned. Connie and watched Issue 3 and 4 of Bill Dance's Bloopers last night and realize he has broken more rods on camera than I have owned. I currently "only" own about 25 rod and reel outfits, but 12 of them are for grandchildren and other little ones.
To the best of my recollection, I've only broken three rods in my life, (Inclduing Connie removing the top six inces of the custom six foot untralight fly rod I wrapped several years ago). I've only broken one on a fish. One was broken on a Canadian Goose, but that is a story for another time (I must have had a 12 pound breakage rod and 15 pound monofilament).

I tried fixing the world in the seventies and something did come of it....Fox Nuke Plant was not built on Kaw Lake...so non of those funny looking fish I saw posted ....found out some more about my pond ...to discourage to describe...observation: I drive a 1965 mercury comet caliente...sometimes it fixes itself...would be nice if ponds would show the same courtesy.
