I have lots of Pike lures, but that's OK, as I'm targeting just that one species so need lots of choice, plus I'm not exactly trudging down cliffs to get to them.
On the other hand, I have a lot of Bass and sea lures, but DO need to climb down cliffs...
So I decided to pare down my collection to the essentials.
Here's how I got on.
Incidentally, Mike has been going through pretty much the same process, and we've come to startlingly similar conclusions and decisions.
My Bass Lures started out like this.
After a sift through, I got it down to this.
A long hard think about weight and how many lures Id actually use on any trip, meant I went through them again. This time, deciding I only really needed 1 plus 1 spare of each type, and a few of the two key lures - Subsurface minnows, and rubber eels. The subsurface Minnows are of the Saltega / Maxrap / Susuke variety. The eels are Slug-gos in a couple sizes.
So that's surface, subsurface, midwater, and weedless bottom baits all covered, in Half the size and weight I was carrying.
I ended up with a lot of lures going back into the cupbaord and a collection I wont use, so they will go up for sale.
