  • In the recent past, I've been Much Better than I used to be. But this week I sort of regressed a bit. Ordered a new reel as well as an embarrassingly ridiculous number of Jackhammers.

 I've averaged a rod a month this past year. A reel every other, plus, line, baits, teminal tackle. It's shameful really. Oh, and then there's that new boat....

I must confess, i have an addiction to buying fishing gear. 

It varies from month to month. Depends on the sales going on or if i find a good deal on something my brain thinks i need. 

Its a bad habit.

In my own defense, the jackhammers were on wicked sale

and @Glenn  sent me a new rod.

So I'm pretty sure it's mostly his fault.

Same here I decided to upgrade all my tackle/gear around May of last year so its been lots of rods, reel, and tackle ordered.  I'm near the end of my upgrade so soon the wallet will cool off and I plan to set a $100 a month budget after that.

I only buy to replace stuff, this month it was jigs last month it was nothing, month before that, nothing, month before that some tying stuff.

Depends.....if I just caught a nice Bass, usually within 24hrs I'm buying copious amounts on un needed tackle based on the tackle that caught said nice Bass

 

You could graph my spending easily, the more fish I catch, the more money I spend on fishing gear.  Stupid but true haha

20$ a week. Unless I find a good deal. I splurged this week and bought a used canoe for 50$. Cha-Ching !

Not much during the season. I use the winter to replenish items and if I’m thinking about trying something new or new to me I pick it up over the winter. 
 

But not to say that I’ve never had some type of soft plastic baits that I had to order that I got low on in season.

SO MUCH, even in summer I don't do that much bass fishing but saltwater tackles are still out there ?

I haven’t bought any tackle in over a year. I bought so much the following winter after the surge emptied shelves initially after the pandemic started, that I probably went overboard. I was honestly worried that the shortage would return - which it obviously has not. Bit of a panic buying surge.

too much. ive actually been pretty good lately , trying to save money for new lithium batteries. but the urge is building. i want a new expride b 76 medium heavy. also some jigs and plastics. the more i get called in for work the more i spend. take out my frustration at tackle warehouse.

Yeah for real dude...what are you trying to accomplish? Gonna get us all kicked out of our houses if our ladies see this

About $250 so far this year...considering I needed nothing I will blame the site.

Ha, I’m actually positive the last couple of months. Have settled into a niche since spring and have stuck with it and plan to do so going forward so I’ve sold off some of the clutter that was in the garage and boat. Stuff such as baits that I haven’t used and probably won’t. 
 

Do have some plans for this fall though that will tip the scale the other way.

It comes and goes in waves. 
 

I haven’t bought any tackle in quite some time (sorry BM), but yesterday I placed an order with TW. I finally bought some black, white and Junebug Senkos, and some new 3/0 EWG hooks. I wanted to try some new colors.

My tackle spending comes in waves, sometimes a Tsunami. Usually between $1 and $7K, but I block that kinda stuff out of my memory cause it's not really beneficial.
