Tackle Boxes

[MOPanfisher]

It's funny that probably everyone harassing Ole oneshot has MORE than 5 tackle boxes.  I can't say for sure even how many I have.

Don't forget the old trusty Zebco fish de-liar! You know, the black one that was never right and always rusted up after one season? lol  I must admit I only have two bags for tackle so I am pretty good there. One is for trout and the other for anything else.

I don't even wanna talk about how many tackle boxes and waist packs I have.  It's borderline ridiculous.  

I even have "surplus" boxes...... because everytime I get addicted to a certain bait the company suddenly stops producing them. 🙄

At one time I had more tackle than Bass Pro had during the covid era .I asked one of the guys down in the tackle section if he wanted me to restock their shelves.

I had that going on at one time too.   You need a tornado.  That helps thin things down considerably.   At least to a manageable level.  😅

I was that way with rods and reels.  Gave a bunch away but am slowly rebuilding my stash.  As long as my wife doesn't ask how many knives, rods, or tackle boxes I have I don't ask about her shoes and purses.  We just politely ignore each others bad habits.

Man!!  I feel like a hoarder now.  I could relate to just about every description mentioned.   LMAO.   Great visuals guys.  I really laughed out loud a time or 3.

We're forgetting that rusted-stuck jar of Uncle Josh's Pork Frogs. I think I moved one of those thru 3 tackle boxes before I figured out the gradually-diminishing level of frog juice was eating my boxes.

Those pork frogs were too good for their own good. Couldn't wear 'em out, you had to lose 'em. Poor sales strategy.

For years I fished a green frog on a black twin spin spinner. I cut the pork side in a cross hatch to make it flexible and wave more. And for years I had to clean up the box every Spring.

Probably the worst fishing injury I have suffered, to date, was while fighting to get a pork frog off of a Johnson's Silver Minnow spoon.    The frog came off suddenly..... while under extreme pressure.....and that gawd awful hook went deep into the end of my thumb.  Way past the Horrendous Barb!   

I panicked and just yanked that sucker out.......Then the salty excrement set in !

OMG !!!!!   🥵😵‍💫😖    I nearly passed out cold from the pain.    If that ever happens to me again I'll just immediately cut my hand off !
