I pretty much agree with George, I spend just enough to keep me in the water. If I need something I will grab it. Between line,gear, tackle we all know that can get steep. Depending on what I am grabbing is how much I spend. Once November hits though I am usually in the woods playing cowboys and indians with the animals till they start stocking trout in Jan. But needless to say it can range from 0-500 no problem.
