Hording fishing equipment PSA

Captmikestarrett · 05-26-10, 12:41 PM

Some people have a real hording issue. But I bet you did not know that people with this disorder prefer fishing lures the most. It is true...

Sure the house is filled to the top with newspapers but some where in that mess is three or four tackleboxes full of lures still in the package.

Four years ago a gent who works for the county as a homacide house cleaner was assigned to a hoarders house. They removed four full size trash cans of tackle and one only one fishing rod.. no reel.

Two nights ago a widow down the street calls me over to remove her husbands old fishing tackle. 6 tackle boxes later I was done. Every box filled to top with new in the package lures.

The point is do not let this happen to you.

Remove the package once you get them home...

And it's a Triton, seems I heard he'd rather drown than run a Triton.

I've found this makes their action much better and you get more bites this way too.

bassinbob · 05-27-10, 04:02 PM

That is true Paul. One day I was using a buzzbait and was getting tons of hits but no hookups. Well after about 5 or 6 hits I checked the hook. Dummy me I didn't take off all the plastic hook wrapper..
