How much do you spend on tackle?

[Bassmaster3616]

When I say tackle I mean hooks, weights, boxes, bags, plastics, hard baits, and everything tackle wise. Wondering how much you guys spend monthly and yearly. I would say I spend anywhere between $25-$50 a month. I use lots of senkos. How much do you guys spend?

[Nathan Burton]

I would say I fall into the $50ish a month category. As I am a recreational angler.

Very clever bassmaster...or should I say... MRS. KYHOKIE!!! I think this is someone's wife that has infiltrated our secret club, trying to garner information, I'm sure. Lol, this could def be used in a court of law so I plead the fifth. 

[kickerfish1]

I am not sure, nor do I really want to know.

[S. Sass]

To d**n much.

100-300 a year depending on what is going on with the family. It has taken me a while, but I really have all the tackle I need. Yearly now I restock what I depleted and add a few new things to try. Can't wait till the kiddo gets out of college, life will get much easier lol. I really need some new spinning reels, I have gotten almost 7 years out of a couple of shakesphere excursions, not sure how much longer then will last, but for mid 20 buck reels they have been rock stars. 

I do really try to shop sales a lot and my in laws get me fishing gear for Christmas too. 

[Jar11591]

I don't like to think about it.

[Catt]

As much as I need!

[bigturtle]

As much as I want

[Raul]

You don't think I'm going to answer that question truthfully do you ?

 

[Airman4754]

Overall it has to be at least $5k. I have at least 60lbs worth of plastics. 

Glide baits are on the menu this year and they aren't cheap. 

[timsford]

As much as i can get away with. I always try to make it sound like an "investment" to the wife, but I'm scared she may be catching on

[Frenchman83]

For me it's probably < $10 per month.   As the kids get older my life is consumed with youth sports.  Wouldn't change it for the world.

[iiTzChunky]

I've been burning through soft baits lately so probably around 30-40$ on plastics and trying new hard baits. 

[WIGuide]

It depends on who you ask, I don't think I spend enough but my bank statements say otherwise haha. I try to restock when what I use is on sale. I think I tend to do alright during the summer months, but over the winter when I can't fish I'm always thinking about fishing and browsing tackle websites and whatnot so I end up pulling the trigger more often. 

[PourMyOwn]

Less than $100 a year-I really only restock line and terminal tackle these days. I may grab a rod and reel using rewards points, or pick up a new jig or worm mold, but that's about it. I'm 39 and could probably get away with never buying another bait for the rest of my life.

[Jaderose]

I spend what I spend.  I...like most.....work very hard for my living.  I provide a roof over the head of my family and everything else they need.  I've never bought fishing gear when I had other priorities.   I have no other hobbies and I don't drink.  Even with all that, it's probably still less than $1000 a year.  I don't hide anything from my wife because I don't have to....nor would I live a life that would require me to hide anything like that.

[RUSS9999]

About 6,200 the last 3.5 years. But I sold the boat and tackle in 2001 and started over again 3.5 years ago. Add a used boat over 12,000 the last 3.5 years.

[KDW96]

In the last 3years it really hasnt been nothing at all. But..... just this summer, i spent 200.00 dollars. All items were clearance.

5 falcon bucco rods 19.99 each

10 new Suffix 832 6.00 each

25 pack of spinshot hooks 1.00 each

Did i NEED it all,no but i aint stupid.;) i pass it on to reletives and they are very happy:)

[YakPirate]

Not enough apparently , cause I ain't catching ***** .. no really , i'm at about $800 annually..  i try to get out 3x a week if possible ... bite is very tough up here right now 

[buzzed bait]

i like to bargain shop, so it's less than it could be, but probably more than it should be!

[BaitMonkey1984]

I would say I spend $200-300 on tackle exclusively each month. More in the winter. I rarely need anything but I stock up on sales and am always looking for the next hot lure. Despite two boats and a garage of tackle, I still use a handful of lures  99$ of the time- Watermelon creme 5" GYCB seiko, green pumpkin TRD, green pumpkin Crazy Chigger craw, keithech EZ shiner, and a Zoom Old Monster Black Trick Worm. I told the misses this last night and she was beyond angry because when TRDS first came out they were no where to be found, she was on a business trip and there was a BPS so I had her clean out the TRDs, every color. She is wondering why I "needed" all those colors. I told her same reason she "needs" all her different pairs of shoes. Conversation over. 

[GORDO]

At least $150/month on gas and replacing lures. I lose a lot of crankbaits to musky and pike sadly. Good thing Im not married or have kids so I can spend as much money on fishing, traveling, and beer as I want! 

[YoTone]

since the start of the year its been over $1K in lures and line.

i like them pretty lures too much.

I'm fairly certain that in the past 12 months or so I've set a new Personal Best in the cash out area.

One that I will not be eclipsing any time soon.
