Who else feels like they won the lottery when this happens!

Post by trout-hunter » Tue Sep 04, 2018 6:16 am

Sorting out some gear and didn't realize how low on lures i was, all of a sudden i find an old shopping bag with a tackle box in it, thinking it was assorted springs screws and nuts I almost ignored it untl i checked it, then i got excited hearing the rattle of lures.. this just saved me BIG $$$$
This has happened to me a few times now. Im a proud fishing hoarder.
Who else has this luck from time to time?

I know the 3 strike pro lures towards the bottom of the photo are new. Think i paid about $20 each for them. I mainly fish for trout so my redfin and yellow belly lures are all kept separately from my trout lures. I dont understand how so many rapalas ended up in the mix. Must of been up eildon one-time and chucked everything together. Who knows.

Not quite the lottery but I found a mint condition, USA made Penn 560 slammer last night whilst cleaning out a room. It was lost over 10 years ago and I thought it had been pinched from my car.
