pirlo06 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 went to B.P and spent 5 bills on a sage fly reel and 4 on a sage fly rod, 100 bucks for the line another 100 on a fish pond chest pack, so 1100 right there not to mention that i bought my first boat at the end of summer, 18' 2002 fish hawk. spending money on fishing doesnt bother me because it is something that i truly love, its not about the money at all. the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zubris21 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I've been pretty good so far... Numerous $50 stops, but at one time the highest was about $250. I'd imagine once I get a boat those numbers will increase drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbaquial Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I think the most I've ever spent on a single visit to BPS/LeBarons was in the neighborhood of $600... mostly on lures, after I sold my paintball gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassaholic Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I dropped $400 on 2 rods at LB 2 weeks ago. But they were having their no-tax sale so I also saved some $...at least thats what I was telling myself as I punched in my pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuNnYoOzE Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 back in '95 I bought 2 rods reels and equipment totally close to a grand , back then it was the shimano quickclick2 reel and although I hadn't fished in years I went out this 1 weekend to a trib was carrying the rod to close to the ground and snapped the top part off.....really it casted better after that but seriously I think Im going to invest in a st croix set up !

douG Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I bought gear for a while, most expensive single item was less than $225. Then I decided I oughta get dressed, then bought a Nautilus 1000 floater one piece, and the BP 100 mph goretex suit. The bps suit pushed the record upwards, but it was worth the cheek chewing. If you're not warm and dry, it's not fun for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCTFisher9120 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 $350 at one time-$150 rod and reel combo and a bunch of various tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'd need to get a bigger paper route if I wanted to buy tackle. I don't spend a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibbs Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 The most I spent on one trip was around $400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
River Rat Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I spent over $4000 getting graphs, chips, networking cables, chargers, and trolling motor....then went and bought 2 optima DM31's for over $700.....then placed an order for over $2800 with Shimano in the same week. I was going to buy a 4 wheeler but I figured I would gear up the boat for bass season with the money I had and wait a year and see if the price dropped.....then the US exchange kicked in a 28% increase. At least my jeep can get almost anywhere the 4 wheeler would have. RR P.S. it's an expensive hobby if you do it right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdelongchamp Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 In 1978 I bought an ugly stick and a Mitchell reel for about a $100.00 while working in Uranium City. I used ttat same rod and reel for one year on Lake Atabasca where I caught a gazillion big "big northerns" and fifteen years on McKenzie Island of Red Lake in Nortwest Ontario including two years guiding at a fly in outpost where i caugth a gazillion pickerel. I broke my only rod in 1998 after I moved to Sudbury in 96. I have purchased and broken four rods since and reels in the last ten years. I used only jigs and spoons and for years made my own jigs. Needless to say I spend very little on gear and tackle. Last year I bought a boat. motor and trailer package for $8000. I have spent $100 on tackle in the last year to outfit my four kids. Yeah I'm cheap and the kids are complaining they are not catching any fish so I guess it will be back to the tackle store this spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishnpro Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Most Iv ever spent is $1200 on a house of hardy fly rod and reel and it was worth every penny. I also picked up my brothers custom fly rod that day so the bill for 2 rods and 2 reels was well over $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
