how much did you spend in fishing stuff this year?
« on: December 06, 2006, 04:56:05 PM »
I think it is my worst (or best if you are a tackle shop) year ever... 

waders
boots
Salmon fly rod
Salmon fly reel
Versitips
baitcaster
drift rod
cp rod
cp reel
float tube
1 day guided on the salt
1 steelhead class (my best investment so far)
vest
license

I do not even count the floats, lines.... and I am sure I forget something

and I need some more stuff, do you know a good tackle shop?  ;D

The Suzuki 4 stroke set me back a few bucks, but helped the enviroment. :) Then again I lost about 150 bouncing betties. :-\ The 24 packs cost a bit too. :-\ The new bar rod was a good deal though. :) But then again I never caught more than pike minnows on it. :-\ Lost about 300 feet of dacron off my Abu 7000 on a 5 pound pikey as well :-\

Hog many(sp) or however it's spelt.
