Status? Places I fish I very rarely run into anyone. & if I do, Its @ night & they don't see what I'm using. And I dont say Hey there, Im using a Spro Power Swivel with Yo Zuri Hybrid & and Rosco Snap. I can speak on behalf of most of "These Guys that buy the stuff", that the last reason they buy stuff is for the status. Of course there are always the "ginkers" as Leo N. Orsi, Jr. called them in Striper Chronicles. The fisherman wannabes that go to the tackle shop & buy all the best gear but have no idea how to use it. Maybe then you could say someone is buying something for the status. But anyone that knows anything knows status in the Surfcasting community comes with what you have done, who you are, the knowledge you have & of course the fish you have caught (and landed), consistently.
NOT the gear that you use.
