Anyone reached Fishing Tackle and Gear Fulfillment? 2024
tcbass reply :
It seems that every year I'd find some new lure that I wanted to try, whether it be a new lure or old lure that has been out for a long time that I just discovered I always usually bought a lure or two that I'd never had or tried before. Last year I bought quite a few things, Teckel Sprinker frogs, chatterbaits, new spinnerbait brands, Whopper Ploppers, and quite a few hollow body frogs to experiment on to make my own Teckel Sprinker frogs. This year I really only bought the new Booyah Toad Runner and a Ninja Grass Blade for my Minn Kota Ulterra. I didn't buy any new rods or reels this year or any other fishing tackle or gear.
I think I've finally achieved fishing tackle and gear fulfillment. I don't want to purchase anything more and I definitely don't need anything else as I have new lures in the box still.
For Topwater:
1.) Whopper Ploppers
2.) Homemade Sprinker Teckel Frog (weedless Whopper Plopper/paddle tail frogs)
For Underwater:
1.) Wacky Rigged Senko
2.) Nose-hooked Zoom Super Fluke
I also use spinnerbaits quite often which and want to try some of the chatterbaits I have. What I have now has consistently worked pretty well in the lakes I fish. I do need to get better at fishing deeper though but I have lures for that too. But I really don't feel the desire to buy anything else....which is weird for me. lol. Maybe I finally beat the dreaded Bait Monkey!
Anyone else reached Fishing Tackle and Gear Fulfillment?

I throw my confidence baits in waves... But I always keep them stocked up. I.e. I'm on a really good baby brush hog Carolina rig bite right now, and I'll fish the heck out of that until it doesn't work anymore. But, as long as new lures, colors and techniques pop up, I'll never stop trying new things during the times when the bite is more difficult. Makes packing a day box quite challenging...

I have a two car garage, two bedrooms, and a corner in the family room filled with tackle, and I still buy something or other now and then, so no.

Angry John reply :
That depends a lot on what part about fishing you like the most. I sure enjoy collecting nice equipment. The lures are cool and i like those but nothing compared to a super sweet rod and reel. I dont think i could ever afford to have all the setups that i have an eye for. Just the megabass C-40 rods would be more than a little bit of coin.

Thats my next purchase hopefully. Maybe that’s why I’m currently satisfied.
cgolf reply :
For the most part yes. When I was at Cabelas recently picking up some flouro leader walking through the store I couldn’t really find anything I wanted or needed.
My goal moving forward over the next few years is to upgrade rods and reels and only replace my go to baits as they are used up.

Is that a pun? ????????????
Seriously though I've been talking a lot about getting an aluminum tiller bass boat this year if I can find something that works. That means I need at LEAST a few more combos to keep the decks full and plastics to keep the bins full.

Wait... fishing gear fulfillment... I don't understand. It's inconceivable.
Frisbie385 reply :
ICAST 2018 is coming up. Let me know if you are still satisfied after that.
Its a bad thing to say but I will never be 100% satisfied. I went through all of my combos last year (which are relatively new) and told myself that if I replaced this rod with a nicer one and this reel and so on that I would not need to upgrade anything and I would be set. Well this year has not been the case. I have changed several rods and reels out plus who knows how much tackle I have bought. I have stuff sitting around that I have never thrown.

Holy mother of tackle! Looks like a fishing shop in there lol.
I have most stuff I want, but there is a few odds and ends I still would like to have.
Some stuttersteps, some jerkbaits, some different kinds of frogs, I'd like some different worms, maybe some larger trick worms and the like. I'm sure as I go along I'll find more stuff I want to try lol.
craww reply :
I'd reached the point of mainly just replenishing as I'd always preferred to buy local in store.
And and then got on an eBay kick after avoiding it intentionally for years... slippery slope indeed.
Troy85 reply :
I had gone into restock mode for a while....then someone here taught me about tacklewarehouse.....that website should be illegal.
Choporoz reply :
I was getting close...maybe not to fulfillment, but at least the buying was tapering a bit....and then had to start planning for first walleye trip in years...bait monkey is happy once again

One pack of white spinnerbait skirts and I shall have achieved total enlightenment.

I'm pretty sure you have more gear and tackle than my local Dick's Sporting Goods.

NO!
as evidenced by my recent $400 BPS order.... 
MassYak85 reply :
I hope not lol. By nature I always like to tinker with and improve things so I am almost never perfectly content with my setups or gear. Going into this season I'm about as content as I'll ever be though, I have more than enough lures and have plenty of rods to cover my bases. If I ever feel I've actually filled in every nook and cranny there is to fill I will probably take up lure-making as a hobby since I'm sure it will turn to "I wish I had that" to "I wish I had what no one currently makes".

It was unintentional, but it works!
fishwizzard reply :
I could likely go for a few years just fishing the lures I have, maybe only having to rebuy a few types of hooks and line. I still buy a little stuff here and there, but I try to give away as much as I add. Last fall I gave my teenage nephew a bunch of lures that never even saw the water, this fall I am going to do the same with the goal of getting rid of everything (especially plastics) that I have never used.

I did purge a lot of plastics a couple months ago. I had colors that I had bought years ago and never even opened the bags. I got rid of most of them except for about 5 or so core colors that I use.

scaleface reply :
Getting close . I only bought one lure this year to replace one I lost . No new rods or reels .
jbmaine reply :
Last week I would have said I was done, but as we just got back from the KTP with more plastics and hooks, I guess not.

What do you mean by purge, gave away, sold, threw away?
