It took some time but, I have gotten mine down to 2 bags with 6 trays each. But that does not include freshwater or shark/surf rigs nor does that include any off-shore tackle.
Once you get to my age, there isn't a camara with a lense big enough. I have over 3000+ HARD plastic lures and don't even count softbaits (except Corkies). It take more than 12 tackle boxes to hold it and lord knows how many of the boxes you have pictured. It never stops. Prolly head to Academy today at lunch.
I think that we have a winner!!
Instead of you going to Academy, Academy should purchase from you!
I was just doing a little "spring cleaning" and tackle roundup and realized ive got a lot of lures and tackle. This is just lures. Whats everyones tackle bag/box look like? I know theres no such thing as too much unless you try to take it all on a kayak or tiny scooter boat. I usually make up a small box for my kayak trips and a smaller one for wading. Its nice to have pretty much anything and everything for different times of the year and conditions. I got tired of not having the right lure or color and having to borrow one from whoever i was fishing with. My girlfriend told me if i want her to marry me id have to stop buying fishing stuff and i told her good! Instead of a ring i can get a boat! She still loves me.

It's already been said "Is there such a thing as too much fishing tackle"?
I gave away two bankers boxes worth of stuff and still have a whole 6 shelf rack in the garage that is full, then there's the stuff in the boat shed. There's no such thing as to much...
There is no way a fisherman can have too much stuff! Fortunately my hobie will only hold so much. I will continue to buy tackle until they pry my rods out of my hands, and I am not ashamed!
I have alot of tackle but the only bad part is i dont get to fish as much as i would like so its hard to narrow down what all i want to take. So now i just carry a old budweiser backpack crammed full of corkies, maniac mullets, paddle tails, rat tails, spoons, poppin corks, and gulp alive mullet and shrimp. Here lately though the only thing ive been pulling out is the maniac mullets!
