100 sounds about right, a little low

I only have about 20, but it pains me to pull cranks and I try and avoid it as much as possible.  A serious cranker should probably have around 200.  All the different sizes, types and 2 of every color of each at a minimum.  IMO

I'm sure at least 2000.  Afraid to count and I'm sure I'd waste a whole day that I could be hunting or fishing if I ever tried.

Over a hundred. They work great in the river.

I probably have 50-70.  Rarely do I have what I consider to be enough variety for the conditions.

Well, that's probably not true.  Spring fishing the Missouri, I can get away with about 9 not including spares.  A #5 and #7 rap in blue/silver, chartreuse/silver, and mud minnow then a #7 countdown in the same colors.  That pretty much gets me through the spring on the Mo.

Now for other locations I will tend to use a larger variety for depth, colors, and action.

Not really sure but I have a dresser drawer full of unopened cranks just in case a color gets "hot". That way I always have extras.

I have about 25 that I never even used, if I can't catch one on a jig or a spinner then I go without.

I thought a lot.  But I don't.  Although, I am sure around a 800 bucks in cranks might be enough by many.  Not on Sak though, been losing some last year.  Now I don't have two of every color anymore.  And the sizes are unlimited.

Not enough either.  Anybody want to part with some?  Shad Raps, countdowns, Salmos, etc??

I'm dead serious too
I had 7,  I now have Zero, thanks to the flippin' jackwagon that decided to steal my entire tacklebox this fall.   If I find you, consider yourself dead.  K, bye!!

I think I'm around 500.  No where near enough!  I have somewhere around 150 in the boat at all times.  Better to have and not need, than to need and not have.
