You have $500 to your favourite fishing tackle store. What do you spend it on?

[Shawarma]

Exactly what the title says, but rather than say "a new rod, hooks and line".. give specifics!

How would you spend $500???

Raven RPX from Fishheads!

st croix imperial 7wt switch rod, with a sage 1880 spool for my reel, with a skagit line system, any money left over goes to fly tying materials

ask my dad for another 200 bucks and get a kingpin zeppelin

Just what I figured---some pinners would want to make a $500 down payment on a "good reel"!! :razz: :lol:

um , even the regular colour zeppelin is going to cost you 847.50 dollars without shipping, not sure how you did your math.


now what would i buy? only things i want i can't buy from any store, they are all custom. but would save 200 more and get cts rod.

if i dont need anything like rod or reel. i would save 500 dollars and buy terminal tackle, bait, stuff like that. i dont even try and every time i go to a fishing store i come out spending 45 bucks. that is 10 trips.

Hardy Greys Streamflex XF2 Fly Rod 11 ft 4 wt and nice reel to mach it.

Beer and a hooker, oops I have to spend it at a store! LOL

Just more tackle, have enough rods and reels. Maybe some fancy fishing duds. Or if all else failed some new arrows for my bows.

 

[Rain-Bow]

I'd spend most of it on expensive fluorocarbon and replacement hooks for lures.

 

[usernamehere]

Dump it all on this, and use the leftover money to buy extra line.

I have no freakin idea. I'd either ask the store employee what get or ask one of you peeps to come help me out ;-)
I'm ig'nant but learning. If I was left to my own devices I would probably get distracted by shiney things and not necessarily make the smartest purchases, lol.

 

[redneckchromer]

an islander and a new pair of wading boots.

edit:forgot i snapped my stick today lol i guess id buy a pair of boots and a new rod. thinking of a streamside or low end raven "im6,matrix".

 

[CanadianAngler87]

Raven IM6 paired with a Sheffield or spahr reel(on sale)

 

[fishfearme]

Sure wouldn't waste it on a Zeppelin. I have been tossing around the idea of getting into spey fishing, so maybe a spey rod and reel.

 

[BASSMASTER19]

now that i think of it i may invest in a 7-8wt fly outfit

[rich_ace_G]

That's like 25 lap dances...I'd buy a good wader and warm winter jacket and hangout with the rest of the hardcore steel headers..my gear is alright...

 

[getin]

I would trade it with a gas gift card. That covers the gas money for 30 trips. Enough to get me to April
But if has to be in a tackle store, then an Orvis Pro wading jacket

 

[FishChaser67]

Fly Outfit ,, insulated waders and fancy flys lol

 

[Shmogley]

Only setup I don't have yet.. a fly outfit
that's what id be spending on at this time
