St Croix Avid and Revo SX, and I did not pay close to retail for either of them but still my most expensive setup.

I refuse to pay retail for rods/reels-

Abu Morrum 1600 UM on a BCR852 GLX Jig & Worm .  The Abu went around $320-350 and the Loomis is $370 so I would say $700.

       Kistler Helium with a Johnny Morris x2.

Until I got rid of the reel - Revo Premier ($500) and Johnny Morris Elite ($350) got total of $850.

I know, I know. But I spent double on the rod and reel because I wanted it to be twice as good.

Seriously, though, right now it would be my JM Elite reel on my JM Elite rod.  About $400 total.

^ lol Mine is a daiwa advantage hsta on a crucial, but my dads is a curado 300 on a ledgend elite!

Abu Morrum SX1600c MAG which believe it or not is paired with a BPS Pro finesse 6'9" ML casting rod. Hey, why is my most expensive reel is sitting on my cheapest rod?

I just ordered mine. A Diawa Steez 100HA that will set on a Daiwa Steez 7'Mh rod. $449+$400=$849

I can't wait to get this in. Hurry up FedEx, but be gentle.

Penn International 130st on a custom bent but 130lb class custom rod

$1350 each......x4

But for the little fish, my most expensive would be the custom that Flechero built me.  Next clos4est would be a $49 spidershaft with a Pflueger president.

Although the big gear is necessary for Tuna you plan to sell, I cant bring myself to spend big $$ on a fish that just about any set up can handle.

You've definately got a valid point there.

LOL....at what point did it become a criminal act?

Are you sure your reply wasn't meant for the "defection" thread?

I'm not gonna answer.  Let's just say I have a few JDM setups with a lot of upgrades.  If you don't admit to the problem then you have no problem.  Right?  :-/

You saying that you baught all that this winter   bye bye money cant think about it any more

yeah like i said...tough winter. The fiance' didn't like it too much, but she's over it now.  But I figure...spend it now, and I'll have all summer to enjoy it. I'm just glad I bought my boat two years ago, before I met her! She would have flipped! All this spending will have to come to a stop though, I told her when I turned 23 I would buy us a house...me and my big ol mouth!

Sadly, I have to make my own rods from parts lying around and I buy all my reels on the board flea market & ebay.  

Ronnie

mine are about equl overall totals

BC

Shimano Citica on a BPS extreme bought on the forum full price total around $220

Spinning

Pflueger Medalist on a St Croix Avid bought around $140 shipped  list is around $240 + tax & ship

Pflueger President on a Fenwick HMG pair around $100 list around $180

Steez on a Loomis MBR843 GLX

WOW!  And I thought I was bad, lol.  Lot's of really nice equipment out there.  I golfed for 30 years and thought nothing of spending 3 or 4 hundred for a new driver.  I also thought $25 for a fishing set up was plenty.  I guess it's all relative.

I was out yesterday practice casting in the yard with my new toys.  I can't wait for the season to start - The Ice is finally starting to melt.
