Just curios how often you guys get new stuff I try to get a new combo when i can which is usually about every 5 years.I have quite a few and still use some of the older ones.But, with all the new technology that comes out ,I end up getting a more up to date combo about every 5 years. Unless one breaks down ,and needs to be replaced sooner.

There have been years where I have bought alot more than 1 most I think was 3 or 4

Anywhere from 2 to 4 times a year.

Not until I break a rod, or need a reel upgrade, which could be years.. ;D

Too often!

I picked up seven new rods and reels this year.  So I probably won't buy another new one for a while unless theres a deal I can't pass up either on the flea market, or in a store.

Too often!

me too

It's been about once every other year so far for me, but as much as I've been getting into fishing lately, that is definitely subject to change.

probally when ever i saved the money for that combo sometimes every month sometimes it takes 3 to 4 months

i get a 400$ monthly allowance from my wife to cover all my personal monthly spending, gas, smokes, snacks excetra... half goes to tackle ...always.... so when ever I have the money I buy a new reel or rod this year I have bought 7 reels and 5 rods

too ften...

I usally buy five or six rods and reels each year...but that has to stop soon...was buying mostly baitcasting gear because I was rather new to baitcasting...three or four years now, and I have been upgrading my gear.

Thus the question choices do not fit me.

I probably pick up 3-4 combos a year, this is only because I am new to fishing though. Once I aqcuire all setups I need (want)  in a year or two that number will drop

Not likely

I thought the very same thing.

As of right now? Not nearly as often as I would like.  I would say that I am averaging about one combo a year.

So far this year:

3 GLX rods

2 Zillion reels, 1 Steez reel

and I didn't 'need' any of it.  It has stopped until I see the next 'must have' rod or reel  :

I've already bought at least eight rods so far this year and about a dozen reels, and will be buying a couple more rods in the next few weeks.

I'm easily bored, so I don't keep gear very long. 

Went out yesterday and realized that my fav. swimbait rod I know like for tossing jigs...Guess I must go buy some more gear! 

I have bought 13 new reels and 7 new rods this year.

I plan to try and take advantage of St. Croix's trade up program each year. So, I get at least 2-3 new rods each season. My reels are good, but I couldn't pass up a deal on the Skeet Reese Revo from TW right before Father's day!

Once I'm on all top-end stuff, I guess I'll have to figure it out as I go.

Whets

I think you need to change the years to months in your poll.  ;D

Burley, @ $400 a month I'd call it anything she wants to call it, as long as the perks go with it. 8-)
