how much you guys spent in all your fishing gear in your life time? I think I spent like 3500$ around.

[Brian the fisherman]

20k if you include boats

[jacklam999]

20k if you include boats

is that included you resell back the stuff out?

[Brian the fisherman]

what?

[jacklam999]

what?

do you sell out your used gear?

[Brian the fisherman]

No, I give it to people who need it like friends or family. Or it gets retired on my fishing rack for being such an awesome memory stick at that point.

yep, every ding scratch and dent reminds me of something

what boat you bought and how much was it.

[Knnn]

3.5 K haha,  I wish. 

I'm pushing 55 now and since I started when I was 12, I would hate to think.  Add in club memberships and the cost of fishing rivers in the UK (you have to pay an additional fee above your rod license to be able to access trout or salmon fishing in the UK), then the cost can be horrendous.

I don't keep track. pretty sure I have spent more than a few thousand on tying materials over the years. This is more a question for our wives to answer LoL

Hahaha I could imagine. I only took up fishing a few months ago, and I've already sunk a few hundred into rods, reels, lures, baits, line, a net, rod holder, tackle box........ And the most I've spent on a single item was a $75 reel! Everything else was $20 or under I think (lots of used stuff.)

It would be very hard to calculate, but I am fortunate that I have recieved much of my gear as gifts over the years, as well as inheriting some pretty good stuff as well. The gas money is what really adds up fast. Probably around $1000 a year on fuel, if not more.

[fisherforever]

I wouldn't even want to guess, been fishing for 52 years now. Add in a couple boats, motors, trailers and trucks as well as fuel and gear $100K+
