I'm fully and completely addicted. I'm worse that most though. I work on charter boats and have never owned a boat capable of reaching the fish i have gear for. Last year one of my friends who just bought his boat wanted to go sharking and day trolling but didn't have any gear at all (beyond a straight gaff) I showed up at the boat with 8 custom made matching 50 class stand up outfits all rigged ready all the shark gear (bang sticks, mako magnet, chum chucker, shark trolling lures, fly gaffs, harpoons, etc) and all the inshore lures you could ever run and every other piece of equipment you could possibly want. I thought about it that afternoon as i reloaded my truck....i probably brought easily over 10k worth of gear on my buddy's boat that day. I'm addicted. There are only a couple people i know that are worse than me. One of them used to own an 85' party boat that he regularly fished offshore with. He has 80 stand up outfits and all the extra necessary gear and hasn't fished offshore since the 90's

Killer Tormenter Teaser Birds

Tormenter Birds Have Arrived:



The paint jobs are incredible, and should prove to be a highly effective teaser in front of a Green Machine this season.

Call us if you have questions.

Chuck that is a great idea I would support any offer to help such offenders. Can I put a 10% coupon in the welcome packet?

I found it quite interesting today when i was roaming through my rigging closet and decided to count all my clear plano boxs full of mess and all the rigging buckets and bags full of squids and teasers. Am i the only one obsessed with this mess i know i have to have over a thousand dollars just in hooks
I counted over 40 plano boxs,5 rigging buckets jammed with shit,8 spreader bars on the wall over 75 rods, 8 gaffs, dredges everywhere its just insane. And the sad thing is i go to the tackle store and find aton of stuff i dont have.

Am i the only one here? Come on guys share your collection of stuff..maybe even some pics. I love all my tackle as much as my boat. Its kinda scary

Con22

sorry to say but you dont even come close Mary tells me I'am the biggist
tackle ho there is 245 rods & and more reels 420 spreader bars 2343 trolling lures last counted and I can keep going on it just plain sick but I'am just like you con22 I love them all cant get enough
