Mike G Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Fishing lures should not be multiplied without necessity. William of Ockham This proposition makes a lot of sense. When I come home with another new lure, my wife probably has this in mind when she asks,"Don't you already have enough lures?" The answer is,"No." But I am not sure why. Sure I remember the simple kit of 6-7 lures I used to pack in to the Canadian Bush for a one week paddle: Dying Minnow Rapala 100 U20 Flatfish yellow Muddler Jig with Jig Spin Red/White Spoon #3 Mepps Bucktail I guess fishing was simpler then.

Scott Ferguson Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 In the infertile waters of the Canadian bush and the short warm water season, fish seldom pass the opportunity to feed. 6 lures is all you need. In the rest of the civilized world, where the fish can be more picky and where space and weight limitations are not as much a concern, there is no limit on the number of potential fish catching lures that can/should be in you tackle box.

Mike G Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks, Scott. Now I know why the answer is,"No." Next time I buy a lure I will explain it to my wife...and keep my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is,"No." But I am not sure why. My answer is, "Don't you already have enough shoes" This generally ends said conversation.
