You know your a bait junky when................... 2024
guest reply :
You buy a $50 BPS gift card on ebay for $50.00
the reason is because your wife pays the credit card bill and can't seem to understand that the new swimbait you wanna buy for $50.00 is really a bargain that you absolutely MUST have.
So you buy a gift card on ebay, make the purchase, and the little lady is none the wiser 8-)
tag, your it.

Or you can get a REAL lady, like yours Avid, who accepts you for who you are. I think most women realize that you can fill a shelf in a tackle box for the price of a pair of (cheaper) shoes. If you add up the tackle box contents and the contents on the floor of her closet,...who is spending more $$??? Hmmmmm
You're it.

When you go to the checkout at BPS and have to trouble the girl to subtract half of your total items from the reciept after realizing you didnt bring enough money.
Not that this has ever happened to me.

Or,when you use a 10.00 card every time you goto dicks.

Our supermarket has a display where they sell gift cards from a number of stores including Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops. I offer to do the grocery shopping pretty often so I can buy a gift card. SWMBO can't understand why the grocery bill is so high when I go but it doesn't appear that I bought that much.

Siebert Outdoors reply :
You guys are killing me with all your tricks so the ol lady wont find out. Funny thing is I bet you she does the same exact thing with her goofy stuff. She thinks how can I slide this one under the radar?
roadwarrior reply :
My wife has zero interest in fishing or my fishing gear. I doubt if she knows the difference in a rod verses a reel! So, I keep my stuff in a little room off the garage and NEVER flaunt anything that I buy. My policy is "No see, no tell."

Ditto on this! And its the worst when nothing was delivered so you know you have to do it again tomorrow and this takes another day away from fishing a pond by my work on my hr break.....lifes tough sometimes

MALTESE FALCON reply :
I guess I'm the lucky one. My wife and I have an understanding, she doesn't tell me how much she spends on shoes and purses and I don't tell her how much I spend on fishing.
I always know when she wants to go shopping because she asks me if I want to go to BPS.

Yep......
It's a no win situation though when I have to go into Victoria Secrets with her. I always get slapped for looking at the sales associates. Truthfully I don't check them out because of the fear from my wife. But I get punched in the arm anyway lol. But the pain wears off as soon as I set foot in Dicks sporting goods and I check out the sales rack. ;D
Olebiker reply :

I used to think that about my wife, but she surprised me Sunday morning when I was watching a fishing show. A professional (I don't remember who) was weighing in and SWMBO commented, "Look at that. He has a Trilene patch and a Stren patch on his shirt!"
I was amazed that she knew that Stren and Trilene were, or at least used to be, competitors.
"You better be careful," she said, "there's a lot I know that you don't know I know."

Went to buy one thing @ mejiers one day and walked into a sale they had going on with hardbaits....I walked out with probably 20+ crankbaits/jerkbaits all because they were half off.(most of them were gone already or i'd woulda brought more)
Funny thing was i was suppose to just pick up some milk......
Never did tell my girl and waited till she went to bed to get em' out of my car to play with them. ;D

My wife knows what all the stuff is, and what it costs. I don't even try to hide anything from her. I don't have to, she buys stuff for me. She knows what I like and what I use, and will almost always get the right stuff.
What are you gonna do with a woman like that, except keep her.
And never, ever, say anything about shoes.
Cheers,
GK

Mattlures reply :
No way Biz, I got you all beat! When you have to have a seperate builiding just for your fishing gear becasue the spare bedroom that used to be your designated fishing room is now too small. When all you do all year long is make more baits but hardley ever fish them. And my favorite.. when you own probably 10,000 diferent baits but you only fish 15 of those with any regularity!
guest reply :
SCNEARIO ONE: You keep the cork handles on your rods, spotless so the ol lady can't figure out if there a new one on your rod rack :
SCENARIO TWO: (my MO) every 2 or 3 years you change all your hardbaits cause " Im going to all wooden hard baits then 2 years later, Im going to all plastic hard baits;. Maybe someday I will say Im gonna stick by what works the most some plastic hard baits and some wooden ones DDOOHHHH!!!!! ;D

+1 to this. After coming home from the tackle shop and getting some sweet deals, I tried telling my girlfriend about the steals that I got, and she used my own trick against me. All guys know this trick, it's the "pretend to pay attention, nod your head, say uh huh, while still watching tv trying not to be to inconsiderate to you" trick. So I now don't bother anymore.
Tokyo Tony reply :
When you get a $60 gift card from Dicks for your Scorecard Rewards points
When you offer to pay for things with your Cabala's credit card so you can get more points, which makes less than zero sense.
When anytime you feel a little down, you go buy lures you absolutely don't need and may not even use, and it makes you feel better.

Yes...that is my plastic backstock. The Plano 3.5" deep 3741's work nicely for storage, and you can squeeze 20-30bags in each. The rubbermaid tubs will hold a lot more, but you can't readily see what you are looking for, and have to dig...disturbing your organization.
