Just been getting couple of lures rigged, can't remember having that many.
Was told that lures don't catch the fish, they catch the angler. Well I am truly hooked, and looking forward to getting back out there.

It’s not an unknown problem mate. Fish wind ons and all lures that go on are fully rigged. Lost count  of what I rigged over late summer and winter Basically there’s probably 60 plus, sadly most will never see outside my garage door but looking fine. I run what catches and having had few lean seasons stock is increasing all the time. 
Couple I do want give go are these though,  in among usual suspects are these two. Will put up photos.
Suspect you have started a great new thread which others will post up large on. Good on ya.

No you're looking at it wrong shane. It works like this..... a marlin comes in on the medium sized black and purple lure in the spread has a brief look and disappears without even looking at anything else in the spread. Something is wrong with the lure, so need to try larger or smaller size. So there is 3 lures to start.

Then there is the lumo, evil, ghost, Kohe, ...........

The bloody things are breeding out of control

So terrafish... I have no idea.. so need to run even more lures.. thanks for tip Tongue
I would have told you few years ago which lure the marlin that came in my gear would likely take, but now I have no idea.  It’s cause I’m getting  old and less successful each season. ...also lost couple of great lures to fish in between those many seasons.

Tip I do have is don’t dry your  best lures in sun on your deck in hot sun especially after a successful day, as next day the skirts on your best lure will disappear without you even getting a strike.Embarrassed

Yea then Gay Bob or pink is all over social media and you have to get one of those so you are not left out. Then you start reading about hooks
The old favorites always go back out in their tried and tested positions where they have caught fish previously, and all the new shiny ones just take up room in the cabin until you want to mix things up.
I find my lumos have multiplied , could run a full set and still have spare.

 I'm beyond help. 
My 5 lure rolls overflowed into the 3 brief cases and now this draw is full too. I'm at a loss where they are coming from. Thinking I might need a bigger house.

Shane, that lure has already caught you, and hasn't been in the water yet.

Lures catch fishermen, not fish. We are all hooked.

Yeah they keep breeding and mutating, all sorts of stange colours and head shapes keep appearing, at a complete los as what's happening?< defer="" ="https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js" -cf-beacon=""rayId":"5fc8796cfd4feeaa","version":"2020.11.6","si":10">

What's worse, in my first year of trolling on my current boat I had three fish up and got one, on a Pakula Lumo Med Sprocket, and Pacific Hawaiian Poo Brown, and a Hooker Brown and white squid, then my lures started breeding and I ended up with all these red Gill and Bonze things, haven't seen a fish since!Ouch
