GLX 854C + Chronarch 201E

Dobyns DX743C + Chronarch CI4+

Paid around $600

Hey guys wondering what your most expensive combo is casting or spinning. Mine is a Diawa tatula type R paired with a cabelas mag touch. $300 :) :)

 

You can´t buy a cool reel with 300 dollars, let alone an entire combo.

Dobyn's DX743C + Core 50mg7

Megabass Flat Side Special + Daiwa TD-Z 100M

i'm not in the same league as these guys, but my tatula reel/rod combo or my curado 300e/okuma swimbait rod would be my more expensive set ups.  i just can't bring myself to spend more than about $300 per combo.  maybe one of these days i will treat myself to a nicer set up, but even at that i think more than $500-$600 would be crazy for me to spend.  if i could find more time to get on the water i could justify it, but right now i just couldn't even think about it.

Endurance 723 with steez 100hl

Retail $800 plus $100 in upgrades $550 invested

Phenix 713 with px68l

Retail $700 $400 invested

Loomis IMX 783 CU-50e cost me about 260

St.croix Avid 7mlf stradic fj2500 cost me about 260

Love the used market!

Where are you folks getting these great deals?

You don´t have to justify anything to anybody other than to yourself, I got 8 reels that have never been used, I should say, I have 8 expensive reels that have never been used, 4 of them aren´t even spooled with line, I used to fish everyday, nowdays I may fish once a month if I´m lucky but when that moment comes I want to enjoy it the most, having cool stuff and fishing with it is part of the gratification, that justifies every single penny I spent.

My most expensive gear would be my Avid rod

and my two Chronarch 50e models. Next would 

be my two Stradic 1000FI reels.

Not real sure.  It's a toss-up between the NFC 6'10" mag lite with a CI4 and the SCV 6'9" MLXF with a Stradic Mg.  I do have a couple Sustains and quite a few Chronarchs, but they are on cheaper customs.

Just keep your eyes open. Winter is coming and a lot of people sell stuff off for good prices. Either to upgrade or just get some money for Xmas,ect. I missed a steez last Dec. that had a buy it now of $200. I just didn't have the extra cash.

NRX and Core 100mg7 $900.00

What I paid and what the retail is are two different things.  I have a fly combo that would go for about $1,300, but I definitely didn't pay that much.  The bargain hunting is the best part.

Steez + sv spool and Dobyns DX for me. However going to sell that setup soon for a reAL steez sv and probably going to pair with something megabass.

St Croix Legend Extreme with a Daiwa Pixy PX68L  Retail about $900, spent about $500

G Loomis MBR842C GLX with a Steez, Retail close to $1000, spent $400.

 

I don't buy hardly anything new.  Too many good deals to be found on good used gear if you are patient and keep your eyes peeled.

Two winters ago I got a Rainshadow RX7 custom and an RX8 custom...$100 and $105 respectively to my door.  I looked up the cost of the RX8 blank.  $144 and change.  My first spiral wrapped rod.  The RX7 is less, but still a great rod with more sensitivity than most of my rods.

Chronarch C14+, 6'8'' LTB. $550

Abu garcia 4600c3 and a falcon pistol grip 150$

Try living over here, where duties and taxes make everything expensive.
