      @Alex:

      When you know you have a problem…

      The problem is you need a bigger room for lures

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        That's what I keep telling Paula, she won't listen.  So, I put this outside the room this morning…..(I don't think she's seen it yet)......That'll hold a few rods  😉 😉

              @Giles:

              Oh, I am…...Actually I am weighing and sorting my Bass lures by type....

              What type of bass?

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                You converted all your plugs and poppers to single inline hook? That’s the best. Lose less fish that way.

                Maybe so. Maybe not

                  Proper Bass…..

                  https://www.google.com/search?q=uk+bass+fishing&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB855GB855&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=cPGJvkMt-oRB5M%253A%252C-rIL6itHrSt2NM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kSIvPOVkn4aqeVjDWoItv-xz3D7Ew&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi2gsbataTpAhUzSxUIHaI5AzQQ_h0wAXoECAsQBA&biw=1440&bih=718#imgrc=cPGJvkMt-oRB5M:

                  Some of my bass lures are rigged with in-line singles (I mainly fish with singles in the Tropics), but some are still rigged with trebles or a single and a treble....

                    I’m converting my poppers, darters and jigs to
                    Single hooks. Can use a bigger sharper hook than on a treble.

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                      You could always use a mechanics chest to store your lures.  Just an idea.

                          Nice rigs

                          What in-line hooks do you use for replacements?

                            For big hooks, I always use BKK.  They are the strongest that I know of, apart from a super rare Japanese artisan maker…

                            For smaller lures, I use VMC 7237

                            or these Cox and Rawle...

                              @Matty123 just remember that Largemouth bass is the king in the U.S. and the most sought after record fish. In Minnesota walleye is the most famous, but bass is still my favorite.

                              22" and around 6lb (no scale). I know this isn't your giant ocean fish, but these are great fighters on the right equipment.

                              till my favorite.
