One item, excluding boats or trucks anything else that easily goes into big money, and was it worth it?

Lowrance LCX 38 HD - $1600+ OR- ; Jury is out, but it looks promising!!

.....i got a $40 mattlures bluegill swimbait to try around the spawn but i'm afraid to throw it!!!!!!!!

scary thing is these swimbait enthusiasts pay upwards of $200 for some of these baits.

Gortex Guide Rainsuit. Bibs and top $400.00 Used hard for 15 years, still good as new. Best money I ever spent.

 

[Calling in Sick]

$150 Temple Fork Outfitters fly rod

 

[basscatsncarp]

$328.21 Quantum PT baitcast reel, and 7FT rod.
Three years later I remember down to the pennies because it changed the world of fishing to me. Good equipement makes all the difference in the world.

$210 Daiwa Zillion
$350 Loomis GLX 843- didn't pay $350 since I got with an employee discount but it was still a lot.

I'm a Muskie guy, when your baits average $20, it is truely frightening to add it all up.

It don't matter if you don't have a wife or girl friend.

I am with Fishinnut.....$1600+ for a Lowrance LCX38HD.....but it came on my new boat (an upgrade) so I am not sure it counts here. (It is sweeeeet though).
If that does not count, I'd say the last full tank of gas I bought for my Ranger 620 which ran me $183 !!!!

Same deal here. $200 for a 6' St Croix and Quantum reel. From that point forward it was all top end rods and reels for me.

I thought musky fishing was expensive. Until I got into fly fishing...waaa waaa weee waah!

Ross Evolution reel + Orvis Silver label 7wt = around $900 a few years ago. Eeesh....

 

[blufloyd]

Boat, motors and trailer and truck. $22000 or close to it.

Kayak and stuff. $900

I consider the expensive stuff the crap you buy that break during first use. Famous crappie rods come to mind.

Had some jigheads from Dick's that lead came loose on. Not good. Yozuri line screwed up about 4 days fishing and a day fishing is well.... priceless.

Any trip to Cabela's is $300 plus.

My wife has internet access. As far as you all are concerned I have never spent a dime on fishing

 

[aui123]

$310 St Croix rod.It was worth every penny

 

[Reality Fish]

Autopilot = $1300

Being able to solo fish (troll & net) for salmon = priceless.

 

[YellowSnow]

Shimano Calais DC $ 560.00 Got a deal
TAX RETURN BABY !

 

[FISHING&FORDS]

Daiwa STEEZ baitcaster, Shimano Calais, and St Croix Legend elite casting rod.

the calais DC and shimano cumara rod is next.

My best advice is to start with a expensive baitcaster alot easier to use and alot less frustration. plus your ahead of the game when it time to step up to a nice reel. my chronarch APV is my favorite everyday reel and its never failed me and after a copule years still casts the best.

:roll: When the first under water camara hit the market I paid 1500.00 bucks...... had it for 4-5 years before they became main stream.......and now the new depth finder I want is close to 2500.00 -3000.00
enjoyment...... was worth every penny....

 

[PBFISH]

My most expensive reel is a Curado, $199, and my most expensive rod is a G Loomis, $250. Love the Curado, haven't tried out the Loomis.
