I love it! And to think you can get the major part of that rack down the street at a neighbor's house!

Man, that's a great idea, very imaginative. I think everyone here wouldn't mind having a wall like that! He's even got some crankbaits and spinnerbaits hanging from the crossbeam!

Man cave, Classic!!! I have been trying to create one for years, it is just too hot in my shed. Might get me a window unit for it from the neighbor's house.

That is really cool. I too keep mine up on the ceiling. Do you know if he put something like felt or pipe insulation in the V grooves of the lattice? Perhaps not necessary, but I can be a touch over zealous in minimizing scratches to the blanks. I think I might do something very similar to this. The creator of this idea should put it in bass master to get it placed in the tips section.

I wondered about resting them on felt or something myself. Pipe wrap probably would be a great solution

Well call me picky!.... at first I thought it was cool, a bit of a cob, but cool.
Then as I thought more about it, it seemed that the rods could only be inserted/removed from the one side (other too close to the back wall) and it looks like the reels might not got through. Then what's with that wall of baits? They won't do much good there when he's out on the lake...and if/when the tackle box gets low on any kinda bait, just put it on the shopping list for the next trip to Dick's, BPS, or wallymart - no need fer a wall 'o baits! JEEZ...this just seems like the bait monkey on steroids!

All you'd have to do to get the rods out is pick up the reel side a little, push it forward enough to clear the butt end, then pull it back the other way to get the tip clear.
And about the wall, yeah that's a lot of plastics, but we don't know anything about this guy. He might live way out somewhere in the sticks so it takes him an hour just to get to a Walmart or wherever. So when he does order lures, or makes the trek into town, he buys a lot of them. I buy toilet paper in the biggest packages I can find to avoid a desperate situation while on the throne. This guy does the same thing with plastics to avoid a desperate situation out on the water. Plus, I guarantee you that 3-4 guys on here have collections that will make that one look like a starter kit.

Yea and some women have 20 pairs of shoes - it's still an obsessive compulsive thing.
I also live a fair piece from town and consolidate my trips - but c'mon, lets get real, a wall full of plastics is overkill. As fer others that have collections making his look like a starter kit - never said he was the only one with a problem. I guarantee that as long as those baits hang on that 'bait art' wall, they'll never catch a fish (but they sure caught a fisher man!) I still remember my grandmother's habits (she grew up in a poor family and then came the depression). She saved everything - egg cartons, bread wrappers, scraps of tin foil, pieces of string, rubber bands...everything. Nothing went to waste and everything was used and reused. My childhood was better, but nowhere near like the "throw away society" we have become.... so maybe I'm still just poor enough to clearly see that a wall full of baits doesn't catch fish and even though we're all obsessed with catching fish, we should still command power over the monkey. Hey, just my $.02.

Maybe he has a system...he keeps a bag or two of each of those lures in the boat, and one at the house. When he goes through the two bags on the boat, he takes the one off the wall to use, and makes a note to buy some more. So when he makes his big monthly order or trip to Bass Pro, he has a list to go by.
Plus, he might do more fishing than you do, so he might possibly need a bigger supply of plastics. Also, he might be a professional, and some or all of those were given to him, and he just hung them up for the fun of it. Or he might be an idiot, and you're right, like always.

Anyways my point is that there is a reason why a wall like that will come in hand and I know that you just got your boat but as you get more and more into it you may not ever have a wall like this but you will certainly see where it would come in handy.

The guy coulda hit some clearance sales as well. Never hurts to stock up when the price is right.
And if you're shopping like that, the more you buy, the more you save. Then you need a way to keep it organized.

Another explination is, since it seems all his rods and reels are on the rod rack, that it's winter and everything is out of his boat. I think the wall is awesome and wish I had enough plastics to need a wall.

Some of you fellas may need to justify (or rationalize) hoarding all these baits cause the monkey made you do it, not because it's logical. Lets analyze this in parallel... If you fished with live bait, would you open a bait shop? How many rods, reels and boats do you have? At some point, the excess represents diminishing returns. Another for instance...the last new vehicle I bought, I got into auto detailing and found my way to autopia.org - a site for amateur and professional detailers (autos, bikes, boats, RV's). There was a 'bragging' thread about [detailing] supplies. Some guys had shelves and shelves full of cleaners, compounds, polishes, waxes/polymers, pads, Micro Fiber towels - hundreds, no thousands of dollars worth of supplies to keep their rides clean and polished. Same thing - different obsession. They didn't really need all those products, but like the bait monkey, they couldn't resist buying them. Look, if you got the extra money so that you're not robbing Peter to pay Paul (Paul the bait monkey), go ahead and indulge...might better buy baits than drink too much beer! But ask yerself....do I really NEED 12 bags of plastic worms in the garage or will 4-6 be enough till I can get to the store to buy more?
