Spill it guys.Which one are you most addicted to? Why? Between you and "me" (aka the entire forum), do all these lures you're addicted to REALLY all work?

And the big question, how many of it do you have???

"Hi,I'm Bassproaddict and I'm a lure-aholic"

Favorite: Hardbaits (Cranks,jerk-baits,Poppers,)
Do they really work...half of them don't.Half of them almost do.
Quantity: A little under a hundred

There I said it.Passing the mic to...

Post this question to the muskie guy, and be shocked at the answers. While I'm not a bass fisherman I have 117 walleye cranks and around 107 Muskie baits, and of course they all work

Plastics. I have stopped counting them by numbers. It would be easier to estimate them in pounds. I would say 75 pounds. I am a bit nuts but I'm sure there are plenty of guys that have more than me! \:\) Oh, and most of them work but it will take a lifetime to actually use them.

Senko's are my favroite, and they seem to work for me in all situations, i just change my retrieves. As for how many I wouldn't really know, but I do know I'll buy more before I see the end of what I have.

Lure manufacturers seem to catch more humans than fish huh?

I am a sucker for X-Raps. Every color, size, and new shape or depth version I am all over it. I will say that they are incredible baits and I have caught more fish on those cranks than any other bait I own.

I ordered a lot of Stanley Flat Eye Rattlin' Platinum jigs and another of Zoom Chunks and Super Chunks off ebay a couple years ago, still not evem close the thru 'em!

Cranks: Between bass and 'eyes....simply too many, but never enough. Raps of all kinds, Smithwicks, Rogues, Thundersticks, etc.

Muskie baits.....let's not go there.

Plastics. I have a few grocery bags worth and lots of unopened packs. Still I buy a few more attractive packs every trip to the store most likely out of habit or impulse. Better have it and not need it than...

Oh man, this one is tough. I am addicted to cranks and plastics.

I don't have quite as many as a lot of guys in here, but I would say close to 20 lbs or so worth of plastics in all different shapes, sizes, and colors.

Then when it comes to cranks, I am easily pushing 100 or so of them. I almost always have at least 50 in the boat with me, just in case ya know.

Tough one... I'd say I'm like you Polaris. Cranks and Plastics & jigs. Right around 25 lipless, around 20+ shad raps, 10+ minus ones,7 wiggle-worts, 17 DTs, 12 floating raps, 8 countdowns, 4 Bombers, 5 chugers, wow there is alot of em. As far as plastics, it seems everytime I go into a gas station that has tackle I'm subcontiously searching for something that would work or might improve my arsonal. Definatly addicted. To the point My wife wants me to give her my cash card in return for a weekly allowance.... Crazy how much $ gets spent on this stuff.
