Let's not miss the point. To each his own. I'm not gonna rain on this guy's parade.

We have pro fishermen who have crates full of lures of all types, because the lures really represent a very small fraction of their operating expenses, when you compare it to boat and hauler upkeep, fuel, and lodging. These guys don't really have time to go to Wal-Mart and hope they have the particular lure they need in stock. Not having the right lure can be far more expensive than having a lot of unused ones sitting around. It's mostly a business to them. They have a passion for fishing, but they have a bottom line to meet.

Then we have the enthusiast, who likes to have a lot of tackle, and usually high-end stuff. He's no more ridiculous than guys who keep hotrods but never drag race, or women who have 100 pairs of shoes in their closet. They are very serious about their hobby, but they're not trying to, nor do they need to turn a profit. Having all of these things in their collection makes them happy. Organizing them is part of the hobby. I fall pretty much into this group, though I am not quite as far blown as this guy. The enthusiast is more often than not someone who always loved fishing, but had to make due with very inferior tackle most of their life and can now enjoy their success and their passion.

Totally ridiculous worm wall, yet strangely fantastic at the same time!!!
