Depends on who you talk to! The wife says I have too many,  I don't think that I have nearly enough. Truth is 150 plus.

If you mean "jigs" defined as a horizontal hook  with a weight at the other end, then I only have about 50.  If you include teardrop-style verticle hooks, then it goes to about 125 or so.  If you mean 'any type of lure at the end of your line that you fish with a jigging action', then we are talking about 200.

I have been buying & making jigs for along time. Maybe 500 or 600 jigs & spoons. I also tie my own flies. I would say around 1000 flies. I'm still looking for that perfect fly. The funny thing is , I catch the most fish on the most ugly , & beat up fly.

No idea how many I have. I do know that not having ice this late in the year has made my collection almost double. Since I can't ice fish yet buying tackle makes me feel better, kinda the mans version of a woman buying shoes when she has a bad day.

Doing a rough eyeball count, I think I actually have more spoons than I do jigs.

Huh.

Need to fix that...

Well, since I use ice jigs all year long, I have quite a few. Just bought 20 tungsten ones this season.
I'd guess 75 or better.

Always remember, it's not the number of jigs that you have........it's finding the ones you don't have yet...

Really RG?! I been on here a while although I share the same sickness, admitting you have a problem is the 1st step to recovery. I do tend to fall of the wagon this time of year though.
