think some people lost the direction of the thread, its not about what you COULD save for, but what you buy with 500.

for instance i could say im going to save up another 525 for a custom done http://builder.abelreels.com/super/7/8N with a custom g-loomis nrx spey rod, thats a $2000 combo, but thats not what this thread is about

Simms waders.

 

[Shawarma]

I actually debated whether i'd buy a rod & reel, or just buy every possible plastic bait i could just so i can try them.

 

[rich_ace_G]

@shawarma. i wouldn't suggest that at all. maybe read some reviews on what really works...cough...pink worm...cough...or chartreuse...buying ever plastic bait for you to try...you have to be in the river a lot to do that. I have like 5 packs of baits from last year that are still un opened. because once you've tried something that works...you won't be able to go to the next one.

 

[rich_ace_G]

warm waders....that's all i'd buy for a $500 budget and spools and spools of line, bobbers, split shots and hooks. Last winter I'm almost all alone everytime I hit the water - even on weekends...and the fish are biting anything you throw at them. I even caught a trout on a...

 

[iJay]

This I must see!
If you are ever up for company in the winter, let me know! We are always "DTF" as FG says LOL

 

[rich_ace_G]

well hopefully it would be similar this winter....but i have seen a lot getting into steelhead fishing every year. you will of course see hardcore steelheaders but yeah snow & ice kind of thins out the herd...

that reel is way to small for that rod when getting a reel set up with spey line you have to go with a bigger reel like on my 8 wt spey i use a 10 wt reel for balance and just to store enough backing on the reel

I agree with that. Staying dry and warm in the winter and not getting sunburnt in the summer are key.

Right on brother....Staying warm & dry on winter out there fishing while the rest are at home...ain't nothing sweeter than that...

If we count ebay as a store, probably about 6 bantam curados and a tonne of tying stuff that I'll never use

A fully ported Raven Matrix Special edition or a spey combo.
