Cheesemaster I may have some stuff I would live to donate to a high school fishing group.  Maybe even some rods and reels I never use any more.  Always afraid of selling too cheap but if I donate it then I don't have to work about that.  My thinking sometimes is a bit strange.  I like to see kids get some good stuff.

That’s very much appreciated. I am in the Springfield area almost daily.

What do you do with baits you don’t need anymore?

 

 I have an assortment of baits that I don’t need or use.  Do you guys sell them or donate them to a youth organization?

 

I just keep them around in plain sight so my wife can b*tch about why I don’t use them and how much I paid for them.

Are you wanting to sell or donate it? I have a friend that is part of a high school fishing team that I am sure the kids would like to divide up if possible.

I’d be glad to see them go to some kids who could get good from them.  I am sending you a pm.

Went through all my tackle and plastics.  Amazing how much unused gear I had acquired.  I put together 8 large plano boxes full of hard baits.  To go with each I added several jigs, buzz baits, spinnerbaits, soft plastics, hooks, sinkers, swivels, etc.  Then added some crappie/panfish jigs, beetle spins, sassy shads, hooks, bobbers, and split shot.  Also tossed in some trout size trebles, rooster tails, small spoons.  Each package went to a youth fisherman that have the fishing addiction.  Furthest packages were shipped to Michigan.

The cool part is if I can donate some stuff, I know exactly what I will do.  BUY MORE STUFF. 😲

I already did that when the Lew’s store closed.  I emptied the shelf on some of the baits that I use a lot.  I tend to be overstock.com on too many things.

I nearly bought a new spinning rod at IAM outdoors Saturday simply because I liked it AND I happened to have a spinning reel just sitting around.  Never mind the fact that I have several hat I just don't use much and likely bought for a specific use but decided I like one of my old faithful better. Crappoe jigs and stuff it's potable time I admit I have a fetish for crappie jigs I just buy more and toss them into a duffle bag, like Christmas everytime I want to look for something.  Just the other day I found two brand new chain stringers and a new Morakniv.

To those of you who donate to kids.  I hope you all realize how appreciated you are.  I was that "kid".  So that being said, let me say THANK YOU for them.  They may never get to thank you, as I will never know who helped me.  But, I do know there were many more than I'll ever know about.
