How much $$$ you got invested in fishing?

[p1capt]

Open water fishing or ice fishing? Either way it's a whole lot per lb.

Actually, not a lot. Over the years I've bought stuff new and taken care of it. Picked up lots of lures, plastics, and rods on sale, garage sales, or flea markets. Got lots of baits from clearance bins. Rebuild and refurbish stuff. Make my own from a few molds. Tie my own flies and jigs. I have more lures than I will use before I take the big dirt nap, but not many that went for retail.

I keep up the maintenance on my old boats. They work well. Upgrade the electrical stuff every once in a while without going apechit. It's a hobby, I love it, but it's not a money pit.

I think that buying quality equipment at good prices, then maintaining it pays over the long haul. It ain't the latest and coolest, but it works.

Substitute "kayak" for "boat" and you've pretty much described me.

No clue what the total is but its been worth every penny.

I have a kayak and an Old Town 16' canoe that I refinished. Bargains are out there if you know what you're looking for and can do a bit of work.
