Know what you mean. I just bought myself (Santa) a new tacklebox. It is one of those huge monsters with six pull out boxes. Been having a blast stocking it with lures i'll never use. Like you say...just the thought of going fishing is almost as fun as really going. It will get in the low 50's here in Middle Tennessee Sunday and since I'm caught up on "Honeydo's" i'm going to Nickajack!!!! If it hairlips Hell!
