How much did you spend on gear in 2011 ?

[ellicat]

Here is the "How much will you spend ?" poll from the start of the year.

It'll be interesting to see the correlation between intent and actual.

I've added an extra category for the insane addicts (+$5,000)

This does NOT include things like yaks, boats, trailers, travel etc

[ellicat]

DEFINITION from original poll =

excluding petrol motors, boats, canoes, kayaks, water vessels of any type whose main purpose is to carry a person or persons, shacks by the sea, bush shantys and lean-to's, dwelling houses, tents, caravans, campers and any other unit of housing, both 2 and 4 wheeled vehicles, vehicles with more than 4 wheels, unicycles, manual and machine driven vehicles and ostriches or other animals that can be ridden or used to as beasts of burden to pull a sled or other device to manoeuvre the angler to a fishing place?

bought this year 15 rods, 13 reels and filled up 3 tackle boxes... i think i have a problem

[Surfingant]

Don't remember what I said in the original thread but a quick add up in my head suggests it would be in the 2-5k range. I could have bought a bloody tinny!!!

[Surfingant]

Just looked up the original thread and it turns out I didn't make a prediction, so it looks like I'm spot on target

Cat, you're a funny bugger,

[wyatt01]

[51MPL]

Assuming this is directed at me as you've been having a little trouble with your spelling lately what are you going to do over the next 5 days while I'm offline? You're not going to know what to do with yourself. I'll probably find you curled up in a corner shaking like a crack addict that needs it's next fix

So far that's a minimum spend of $96K from 47 members

[plugger]

a touch over $4000 and still going. is their a group i can go too i have a problem doc....

[BassTracker]

Wow I dont feel so bad, my tally would be around the $1500 to @$2000 mark, if there is a group that like AA (anglers annon) let me know, because as they work with some of you guys they will probably tell you to get rid of some of your gear, if I know where the meetings are I can wait in the carpark and pick up a few bargans!!

[ellicat]
