I know I do  :cookoo: Have so many I could change them every five minutes when on the ice and "still" not use them all in a day!!

I could change every 5 minutes and not use them all in a week.

Larry I have come to the conclusion all I have to do is simply loose a jig box every couple years and I can keep the thrill going. And by loose i mean drop them in the sled so that after I buy another box I find them. But now I have this new jig box that just has to be filled lol.

I was on a bus and just happened to be sitting on a news paper. This guy came up and asked. "Are you reading that ?"
I said  yes, stood up, turned the page and sat back down.

If I just carried a few Eagle Claw 181 hooks and some Water Gremlin Green #7 sinkers, I would catch almost the same # of fish. Around here we are allowed 5 rigs.  I go after trout.  I tend to dead stick worms and corn on 4 and play with the fifth.  Most of my fish over the years have come off the worms & corn.  If I added a few black crappie jigs we would be well over 90% of my fish.

However, I just had to have a new selection of paddle bugs this year and a new Plano 3217-07 to carry them in...  And didn't my buddy Chuck catch that big trout last week on something yellow...  and don't those Kastmasters above my hook make excellent attractors...  and, and, and,...  ::)

The best lures attract fishermen, too.

I always used the same dozen patterns until the last few years but each year now it seems a new pattern becomes the hot one and that means another 100 buck order to Northland or YBD. Lol

I am sure that I am.  I am carrying two boxes with me and a couple of spare boxes tucked away.  I figure the two I carry are worth about $880 to $1000.  Silly!
