What Is Your One Weakness.... 2025
JeziHogg reply :
When it comes to what type of lure/bait you buy?
Myself... Its squarebills, I cant get enough of them. I probably have like 100+ in every color imaginable, but every time I go to BPS or whatever I just have to buy some kind of squarebill.
fl_bass reply :
A good sale on Senkos. LOL
roadwarrior reply :
Jerkbaits
I definitely don't need anymore, but I can't wait to try the Smithwick Perfect Ten!
bkohlman reply :
Lately it has been jigs and craw trailers.....luckily I just bought jig heads and skirt material so I can make a bunch of my own.

aharris reply :
jigs and/or spinnerbaits. I've plano's full of jigs and I've got spinnerbaits galore.
kickerfish1 reply :
I have way too much of everything. I guess my top 3 would be:
1. Quality hand tied jigs.
2. Soft plastics
3. Megabass jerkbaits and topwater
J Francho reply :
Based on the surplus packages of Rage Craws I find in stacks all over the house, boat, and garage, I'd have say them. Seems like I grab a half dozen packages every time I go to the store, whether I need them or not!
Primus reply :
Everything. That said swimbaits & crankbaits are my main obsessions.
Quitlimpin reply :
Fat Ika's. I've got a gallon zip loc full of em that's bursting at the seams
Lip 'em! reply :
Jigs and soft plastics...i need to remind myself that even with multiple rods i can only fish one at a time. Lol
ColdSVT reply :
my weakness is the pile of spinner baits I have that never use...i dont know why I dont throw spinner baits but for reason I just dont throw em much at all
my other weakness in lucky craft jerkbaits...i buy one everytime I go to the store lol
BrettD reply :
Topwaters I have way to many there is just so many different types and its the funnest way to fish.
bmlum415 reply :
Hand poured straight tail 4 inch worms, I have a whole Plano box devoted to one specific color and probably a good 400 worms in it, then two other Plano 3700s with some misc colored hand pours, I probably have easily over 800 worms right now stockpiled in my boxes, and had to special order that many since I bought the whole stock at the local tackle shop, sadly I like using them that much it cost me a tournament win since there were three teams that caught six lbers on senkos and I refused to put away the finesse worm, but I ended up catching a good 20+ bass instead of one 6lber with a few dinks, at least I was culling fish non stop, too add to that I can't stop buying hand tied jigs and dobyns rods, I bought my first in December and now I own 4 of them
AGOSS reply :
mine would be square bills also
nascar2428 reply :
Worms and spinnerbaits!!

TNBassin' reply :
Mine is lipless cranks. Got a ton of RES Xcalibur Xr & xrk 50s.
The Rooster reply :
Spinnerbaits and Roostertails. I have way more than I need. A few years ago I would buy any one I ran across that happened to be a different color than what I already have. Now I control that more and have actually thinned down my collection to 45 spinnerbaits, and about 80 Roostertails.
When I buy Roosters, I get them 3 at a time in whatever color and size I'm buying. If I get 3 different sizes in the same color then that's 9 baits I just bought. I've been known to have the tackle shops order them in case quantities of my favorite colors and then I bought them all when they came in. I lose a lot of them too, otherwise I'd have a lot more.
I don't buy spinnerbaits in duplicates like that but I do tend to duplicate the same patterns across multiple brands over time. I have several different brands of 3/8 white with tandem or double willow blades. I'm also a sucker for a chartreuse and white, or some other combination. Any different kind of firetiger I can find also, I grab it up. One might be mostly chartreuse and orange, or have more neon green in it than another. If it's like that then I gotta have it.
RyneB reply :
i would say jigs and spinnerbaits. Just because i like to make them, so i have quite the stock pile. As far as store bought baits, i would have to say jig trailers. I have 2 big storage bins full of trailers. I have every color Paca craw they make, every color Rage craw they make. On top of that i have rage grubs, Menaces,chigger craws, zoom swimmin flukes, and regular flukes for bladed jigs. I would say i have over 20 bags of black/blue paca craws and 10 bags of saphire blue trailers. I think the reason i collect them is because all my trailers can also be used as a bait by themselves. If i had to narrow it down to one single bait, it would be the Rage Craw. Every single time i go to BPS or make a TW order, i get at least 1 pack of rage craws.
Bankbeater reply :
Probably replacement hooks. I'm always try to put new hooks on old lures that I find.
shootermcbob reply :
My biggest weakness is I can't seem to stop buying, selling, trading fishing gear including rods, reels, line, lures, and soft plastics.
Is that wrong?
bwillis reply :
Baby brush hogs. I can never pass up in a sale or a new color or both.
clayton86 reply :
Mine would be football head jigs though now I am liking the alien/brush head I haven't fished it it just looks sick I got a whole box of em.
tylerwyp reply :
Jigs even though at suck at using them. I just cannot go to the store and not buy one or two more.
Jaiden reply :
Squarebill cranks and jigs. I have to have multiple sizes and colors for every situation possible.
Blues19 reply :
5 years ago it was Brush Hogs, but i fought the temptation. Now its rage craws
Jake P reply :
Honestly? Every. Single. One. I can't think of one because I buy em all. All the time. Jigs, flukes, worms, craws spinnerbaits etc. you name it.
I guess flukes though. They are on the grocery list every Friday. it's funny too cause I don't fish them that often.... I AM the bait monkey!!!!!!

I know you and I discussed this, but I cannot catch a fish on a white chunk or worm. Give me any other color and I'm good to go. But this year I am going to try it again to see what happens. I'll report back to you with my results.
flippin and pitchin reply :
Swivels. Can't stay out of the swivel isle. Black, brass, chrome, ball bearing, snaps and no snaps. I've lost all control.
loodkop reply :
My only weakness is the size of my purse.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Jerkbaits and squarebills, and sale items, and lure building supplies, and finesse worms, and beaver baits, and creature baits, and jig trailers. Other than that I'm golden 
Jrob78 reply :
Probably soft plastics for me. I have a ton of everything else too but I've had to make myself stop buying plastics.
Hooligan reply :
I'm like you RoadWarrior. I have well in excess of 250 jerkbaits from nearly every current manufacturer. Megabass, Jackall, Strike King, Smithwick, Rapala, SPRO, Lucky Craft, Luck E strike, Bomber... It's a sickness. So many of them are just hanging on pegboard in the garage.
The other thing I can't walk away from is Pre- Rapala wiggle warts. I'll buy em regardless of color.

ill take a few megabass and luckycraft off your hands if you would like since theyre on a pegboard, LOL
SirSnookalot reply :
I buy as a go for most things, I don't keep a large supply. I am consumed with 1 species in particular and I make my own lures, I'm constantly ordering components. After quite a few years I'm at the point of near perfection, but the next step is refine them a bit in an attempt to please my eye, they will not catch anymore fish. I plan on pouring my jigheads, ball chain swivel instead of a hook, I own one that was made up may years, just want to make one similar. I also want to add some spinner blades and send them up to some of my muskie buddies to see what they can do.
DelfiBoyz_One_and_Only reply :
When i was about 14 years old I seen a bass fisherman and was
amazed by the amount of tackle he had. That man explain that different times
and conditions the fish prefer different gear. I said wow it must have cost you
5000 dollars for all that stuff how did you do it. He laughed and said every
time your parents take you to wal-mart pick up something anything no matter how
little and as time goes on you will see how fast your collection of tackle will
grow.
Well I have not been able to stop taking his advice it’s been
almost 20 years now and I still can’t go into a store that sells fishing stuff without
picking up something. Grrrr what a mean ole fisherman

MSAJAA reply :
Lately it has been crankbaits and jerkbaits. In the winter I stop at one of the tackleshops (there are three ) on my way home from work on Fridays, I try to only buy a couple at a time.
CPBassFishing reply :
I don't really have enough money to have a weakness in a certain type of lure collection, but I guess mine would have to be soft plastics. I have 3 plano 3700's full of soft baits I hardly ever use.
*Hootie reply :
Great post. I go through phases. Right now, it's jigs and soft plastics. I feel real good about it though, because over the Fall and Winter, it was
G Loomis rods,......whew!!....glad that phase is over. Uh, I think it's over.
Hootie
Ratherbfishing reply :
Besides blondes (and brunettes and red heads), my weakness is WINTERTIME. During the warm weather months I actually don't buy that much. I'm too busy fishing (or mowing or watering the yard, etc). It's the winter when I'm all cooped up inside that I buy stuff. Lately it's been Rapala crankbaits in their various manifestations. But if the local store has a serious sale on just about anything, I'll probably buy it. Grrrrrrr!!!!
bassinKS reply :
Mine is Jigs, crankbaits, and rage pastics. Everytime I go into bass pro im walking out with atleast one of those items. It has gotten bad too, the people at bass pro are starting to knowme pretty well a couple weeks ago I was buying, well some fishing stuff, and i handed her my debit card and she flipped it over to the see id part and she looked at me and said "im not gona id you because I see you in here all the time buying stuff" I finally decided that my trips to bass pro needed to slow down, I also lived 5 miles away from the bass pro. Thank goodness i moved to college which is 2hrs away from that bass pro so I dont spend any money while im here but when I go home I seem to always find my self in there...

Not a chance. They're on pegboard because I donate so darned many to the Esox gods every year...
SGT Rico reply :
Swimbaits and jigs. I have way too many!!!!!
NWI-Bassin' reply :
Lipless cranks. Yup. While some of you guys say jigs or spinnerbaits. I have about 5 jigs and 5 spinnerbaits. But around 20 lipless cranks. And I've only been fishing since April. And another thing is I've gotten hung up about 15+ so... Add 20 more lipless cranks. Lol
J Francho reply :
Just 20 lipless baits
Trackick9707 reply :
Frogs. All colors and shapes and styles and sizes. Especially during the winter...
Amarley reply :
Man, I thought I had some tackle buying issues, but you guys are making me feel much better about my impulse control! I need my wife to read this board!
Amarley reply :
For the record, my weaknesses are junebug colored plastics, squarebills, and jigs.
NEjitterbugger reply :
Soft Plastics!!! CANT HAVE ENOUGH!!!!
For ex: I get $100 to BPS for my BDAY... Spend 80% on soft plastics... My aunt gives me $50 to BPS I spend 100% on soft plastics....
I need to buy more jigs and cranks
JeziHogg reply :
Another one of mine are St Croix rods..
NWI-Bassin' reply :
Sadly yes. Lol. I had 40+ , I found a container of receitps and they were all for lipless cranks lol..On 3/15/2013 at 8:17 AM, J Francho said:Just 20 lipless baits

X2 Hard to find in these parts, especially in the colors I use. So in fear of ever running low, I grab a few packs every time I find them.
Teal reply :
Kryptonite.
I have a weakness for the wife, hard to say no to her.
iabass8 reply :
Wintertime sales. To be fair, I don't need to buy an awful lot during the warmer months of the year but come winter, the cycle just repeats itself.
haydenf96 reply :
Everything!!! I just cant stop..
BassThumb reply :
Craw trailers. I have about 30 pounds worth of them.

I have a buddy that's got it for them too. Wears a ton of jewelry also. I think that's where his addiction originated.
With me, it's plastic baits. BIG plastics. If a company comes out with a mega sized tube, worm, or whatever, I'll be in line to buy some when they hit the shelves.
bass1980 reply :
Jig fishing!!! I love power fishing, even when I'm not fishing I'm putting action into the retrieve. I need to learn more about the structure of lakes and how to use Jigs. By late spring and summer there is so much vegetation that I just don't know where to throw jigs other than docks. I just end up with a pile of weed.
