>>1829135Wait for clearance and sales. Dick’s always has clearance racks for the low, Gander Moutain used to have bins of dirt cheap Rapalas and Mepps in the spring when the new stuff comes in. Bass Pro has the spring fishing sale every year but it’s mostly just Zoom bags and Rooster Tails for like $2.
I always check the Walmart clearance sections too, find some steals on random crap, a few fishing lures and a couple weeks ago got me some $25 crescent wrenches and channellocks for $9-$10 each.
Mystery Tackle Box is a pretty good way to build your collection for cheap, I cancelled because I already had too much shit I didn’t use. Some of the boxes weren’t as good as others, but you always find one or two in the box that work really well and that’s worth the $12 each box costs.
