    Unusual problem to have. Got an extra $1000 suggestion to spend

    Very unusual but since I took advantage of Lowrance’s rebate program I have $800 plus another $200 coming to me in gift cards. I just upgraded all my electronics to new Lowrance hds- 12, active target 2, ghost trolling motor and a live foot turret for the active target 2 transducer. I have an extra grand burning a hole in my pocket what do I spend it on to get the most bang for my buck ?

    If you don’t have one my first choice would be a PLB
    I suggest the (RESQLINK 400 PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON/PLB-400)

    or

    Ionic batteries
    Couple new rods and/or reels
    New Bubba Pro Series Scale

    Rods and reels, expensive tackle you normally wouldn’t buy. Stock up on baits used regularly when you find them on sale.

    Sell them and hire an expert for a day on the water to show you how to use the new stuff instead of just having it for show.

    I have an extra grand burning a hole in my pocket what do I spend it on to get the most bang for my buck ?[/QUOTE]
    I may sound like a shmuck, but since it's found money, how about buying some rods/reels/tackle for some local "needy" kids/kids club to get into fishing...definitely bang for the buck IMO
