I have tons of stuff I never throw. Why is that?
Reminds me of the quote about fearing the man who owns only one rifle.....you can be damn sure he knows how to use it.

I buy a lot of things that look great in the stores, but after trying them with no luck or being disappointed in the action I tend to jump right back to my old reliable lures.

Which leads to me having tons of crap I'll never use.
