Way too much. I go to M&d's to get 7 eels and walk out with a few plugs and anything else i might "need". So a 10.00 visit turns into 50.00, its like magic or something. If i was more organized i could save a lot of money. I must have hundreds of spro swivels and breakaways somewhere. I'll be damned if i can find a pack when i need em though.

I'm going to put at least 200 miles per weekend on my car/truck from May 'til November chasing fish. Tackle and plugs lost are insignificant.

I bought a huge rubbermaid 30 gallon tub, put it in the back of my truck with all my plugs, terminal stuff, spare reels, line, etc. Great idea to have eveything handy, yet I couldn't find a damn thing in there with all the crap I stuffed in it. I still managed to buy more than eels each trip.
I don't really buy plugs anymore, maybe some rubber shads. I have sort of beat the plug-bug for the time being. The bluefish that inundated the canal mid-august finished off all my pretied leaders-then my organization really went to hell, there was no time to pre0tie so the back seat of my truck became a tangle of leader material and rogue hooks.
I have put aside a nice cash chunk for gas this summer, so I should be fine there. I do plan to buy a Saltiga at some point soon though.

Actually you only spent 200 bucks. If you have to you can unload it for about 800. Hope this helps. |

I spend enough that if my wife ever found out, she'd be out shopping for a new car that same day. But as Tagger pointed out, there are lots of worse things to be spending money on so I don't feel guilty.

Mostly money on gas. At $100+ per tankful last summer,feeding a suburban that tows my little boat got expensive. I bet I averaged three fillups every two weeks,couple that with eels which my accomplice supplies and you start to get the picture. I would assume the eel tally alone had a +/- of 650. Throw in some pogies and some large quantities of seaguar........ jigs,plugs,swivels,lead.

I fish a lot with my brother. I think he owes me for Christmas presents for Naked #^&#^&#^&#^&y that we have been going Dutch on since 1989.
He bought me shiners a couple of times this year, though. Let's say, way too much!

"throw out" ???
Not sure what you mean by that.
Gear/tackle thrown away because junk at the end of the season,
or the cost of fishing each year.

if we're talking about how much
i waste at the end of the year,,,,,,
i'd say it's around 30%, sooooooo
30% of, on tackle ALONE, ______ hundy????
!!!DAMN the FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP of the CUSTOM PLUGBUILDERS!!!
i buy waaaaay too many plugs for an EEEEEELS guy!!
if i trimmed sum of the AYC fat off of my budget, i'd
prolly knock 2/3 off of the total. it's just so hard to walk away.
the numbers shall remain nameless, as
me bride has been lurking my posts of LATE!!
isn't ANYTHING sacred these days??? EFFFFFN' OPRAH!!

I toss out really bad hooks and snaps.Some surface rust is not a concern to me but major corrosion is.Last year I tossed a couple reels that were seized up.One Okuma baitrunner and a walmart special bait chucker.This year not so much yet, most of it is the shed still rotting away.So for money spent in the past I save some this year hopefully.I do see some gear on the horizon but no VS or ZB .No new fangled rods for 500$.If I have to sum up what I throw out it would be close to 50 dollars.The reels weren't worth a penny and I got their money's worth out of them.
