<p>Truly a great man to share the tools. I've done that in my past. Reach the point where I get frustrated cleaning up after the mess they left behind. If they need something, the tackle box will be opened, they can take what they need (not my specialty items), practice on their rigs' tying, and I'll supervise to make sure they don't impale themselves or destroy the tackle box content while practicing. Young kids will listen a bit better than adults. Adults will listen better than teenagers.</p>

<p> I am in the camp of wanting my guests to catch fish and I will always say to them they are welcome to look through and grab what they would like to use. If the tackle box gets messed up, so be it, I don't mind re-organizing. I just want my guest to have a good fishing experience and willing to share for it to happen.......With all of this said my tackle box is never out of my sight, never borrowed out and if there is a lure that is "sacred" or expensive and don't want it used, I don't…</p>

My tackle boxes are for my hands only. If someone wants a specific bait or something that they know I have, I'll gladly get it out for them. But all of my stuff is organized a certain way, and any time someone has rummaged through my boxes in the past, it always seems like they just dumped it out and put everything back in random spots. Now that I've learned from those experiences, nobody is allowed to open any of my boxes other than in a few exceptional situations.

<p>You said it. Last time out with in-laws, I nearly lost all of egg and tear drop sinkers in less than 8 hours. I have yet to use that many in 4 years. I don't mind sharing my tools, but good grief, I buy good sinkers and hooks for capturing fish, not lose them to weeds and structures because they were too eagered in pulling the line in without using the snag-snap-release method, or better yet, avoid the snag point by casting elsewhere all together.</p>

<p>They also use my spinners, which I got really terrified of losing. I let them tried, but they got tired of cast-and-reel after a good 15 minutes. They went back to the bait-and-wait and vertical jiggign methods instead.</p> I don't mind sharing.

<p>I don't mind sharing. Its when someone might help themselves, saying, "Oh, hey he has that... I'll just get it out of his box."</p>
<p>Funny, it's never just a hook or sinker, either. It's the expensive line that seems to be the draw. Or the high end crank baits and my favorite soft plastics.</p>

<p>You know most of the time I go I may have someone who hasn't fished much so they would have no idea of what baits to buy or use. I do share and maybe along with the sharing they may get a lesson on how to use the bait they may want to use. My intention is for everybody to catch fish and everybody to have fun. Now that doesn't work 100 percent of the time regardless sometimes no matter what they do they may not catch fish, so I may have to make some suggestions on what they may want to try…</p>

Now that doesn't work 100 percent of the time regardless sometimes no matter what they do they may not catch fish, so I may have to make some suggestions on what they may want to try maybe something a little more fool proof, but the bottom line is if I have something they wish to try they are more than welcome to try it. Bottom line usually if they do catch fish they are having fun and then there interest is there to fish again then I know I've done my job. </p> I'm heading towards your exam…tag:bigbluegill.ning.com,2012-04-16:2036984:Comment:2592892012-04-16T02:45:49.981ZDavid, aka, "McScruff"http://bigbluegill.ning.com/profile/david553

<p>Agree with the tackle box as being sacred to each man. I have no problem in helping my family members to start up their own. Homemade flies, tackles, baits that I can make readily, I have no problem in sharing, but they must keep them in their own tackle box. However, what I bought as specialized lures, or my lucky charm in/on the water, stay far far away from them. Same with my rods and reels.
