I feel like i should probably note: My boat was paid for in cash, I have a pretty decent paying job and none of this stuff has associated credit card debt, it was bought with surplus funds after all bills were paid. DONT go wild young bucks.

A falcon cara Amistad rod, Diawa Tatula, the new G.loomis IMX 852S spinning rod, stradic ci4 3000 were the big things but I've also bought several packages of tubes, grubs, and jigs.

Can't tell you how many cranks, plastics, etc.; stopped counting. As far as rods and reels I bought:

Stradic CI4+ 2500

Stradic FJ 2500

Shimano Chronarch CI4+

Daiwa Tatula 100H

Daiwa Tatula Type R 100H

Daiwa SS SV 103

WOW !!!!!!!!   PA lifetime senior license is $51.70.  Of course I had to buy a lifetime Trout stamp as well since at least one of the lakes I fish in contains stocked trout......which are all caught by anglers or eaten by other fish within 2 weeks after being put in.  That was less than $10.

 

It's terrible to be you.  Or should I say terrible to live in MA?  Sounds a lot like a ripoff.  You have to remember tho, that your politicians need to maintain their life style......on your dime.

I went old school and bought 7 team Daiwa X's (different models) and rebuilt and tuned them. I sold 3 of them at a nice profit which paid for all of them and kept 4. also got a Tatula 7'2" h and a Tatula 7'4" frog rod and the usual $1000 or so of lures

there is no telling how much i have spend since last sep.  So i decided to bass fish last year, have to have a boat right? end up buying a Z6. brought total of 8 rod and reel comb, 6 bait cast and 2 spinn.  6 box full of tackle, 4 life jacket. all kind of plastic.
