Ginosocalbass reply :
Custom Wrapped Calstar 800lx and a shimano Curado 201. My swimbait combo, Rod retails at $350.00 on Charkbait. with custom work, including turks head, and cork tape. costed me $50 from a friend. Upgraded berrings on real put it at $240.
$640 But used of course it would never sell for that lol
I have caught albacore, Halibut up to 30lbs on the rod. and plenty of 5-8lb and even a 12lb bass on it. It has more sentimental value to me than the rest of my gear put together. Its priceless.

Always a wiseguy making at least one post. I figure you have line that costs more than that combo. : 
P.S. I can rag this guy cuz he is a friend. So don't get upset with me. 
DogBone_384 reply :
Mine's got to be a Core 100MG sitting on top of an 7'1" M/M Abu Garcia Villian. Just under $530.
BrianinMD reply :
Chronarch CI4+ paired with a Dobyns DX745C.
Master Bait'r reply :
NRX 852c green+ Curado 51e. Didn't pay anywhere near retail though. I actually have about the exact same amount into my frog rod since it was all retail, and that's a 7'2" 13 *** Black HXF + BB1 Pro.
LunkerFisher reply :
Revo SX and Abu Veritas MMF, $260 retail, paid $140 total due to sales. Use it for topwater/jerkbaits, squarebills, rat-l-traps, light jigs, some spinnerbaits and chatterbaits, open-water frogging, and even wacky wormin or light texas rigs. Great setup for lots of techniques!
IAY reply :
My upgraded Metanium 13 HG and Megabass F4-68X7 or my Conquest 2014 200 and Megabass F6-72X4. They retail for roughly the same.
Grantman83 reply :
Retail,
I have a dx 745 with a zillion type r on it for which equals roughly $800.
I have t3 on a Daiko Karisma stick which retail is about $900 though I didn't nearly pay that much.

PersicoTrotaVA reply :

I have a similar set up, with the difference being my Veritas is a 6'9" MH/F and my Revo SX was supertuned by Mike @ DVT. If you've not done the same, get yours tuned. It's one of my best casting reels.
BassingNick reply :
Mine would be CH50E on a 6' 10" Daiwa Tatula.
ColdSVT reply :
Chronarch ci4 on a 13 ***...500ish retail.
Nothing silly...especially compared to some on here lol
flyfisher reply :
Conventional set up is a shimano citica on a St Croix Rage.....Fly rod is a Sage Bass II paired up with a lamson litespeed that goes for about $900 total. I have other fly rods in the same range but i haven't bought any of them for near their MSRP....
Steveo-1969 reply :
My most expensive combo is spinning. Loomis 821S GLX and Shimano Stradic CI4+. About $665.
druben reply :
Megabass Super Red Demon paired with a Tatula Type R. Around $800
Felix77 reply :
Rapsody Rod ("The One") and Bass Pro Qualifier = $190ish.
new2BC4bass reply :
Most expensive at my actual cost...7'6" Zillion HF Flip and Pitch rod with TD-Z 103HL Type R...$440 Doesn't include replacing the spool after it was stolen or the Daiwa Samurai braid. Don't flip or pitch so it is also one of my least used rods although I have used it for for standard casting. Not much call for a Heavy in my area. I do like both the rod and reel tho.

You can´t buy a cool reel with 300 dollars, let alone an entire combo.

buzzed bait reply :
i'm not in the same league as these guys, but my tatula reel/rod combo or my curado 300e/okuma swimbait rod would be my more expensive set ups. i just can't bring myself to spend more than about $300 per combo. maybe one of these days i will treat myself to a nicer set up, but even at that i think more than $500-$600 would be crazy for me to spend. if i could find more time to get on the water i could justify it, but right now i just couldn't even think about it.

You don´t have to justify anything to anybody other than to yourself, I got 8 reels that have never been used, I should say, I have 8 expensive reels that have never been used, 4 of them aren´t even spooled with line, I used to fish everyday, nowdays I may fish once a month if I´m lucky but when that moment comes I want to enjoy it the most, having cool stuff and fishing with it is part of the gratification, that justifies every single penny I spent.
Darren. reply :
My most expensive gear would be my Avid rod
and my two Chronarch 50e models. Next would
be my two Stradic 1000FI reels.
S Hovanec reply :
Not real sure. It's a toss-up between the NFC 6'10" mag lite with a CI4 and the SCV 6'9" MLXF with a Stradic Mg. I do have a couple Sustains and quite a few Chronarchs, but they are on cheaper customs.

Just keep your eyes open. Winter is coming and a lot of people sell stuff off for good prices. Either to upgrade or just get some money for Xmas,ect. I missed a steez last Dec. that had a buy it now of $200. I just didn't have the extra cash.

NRX and Core 100mg7 $900.00

Lucky Craft Man reply :
What I paid and what the retail is are two different things. I have a fly combo that would go for about $1,300, but I definitely didn't pay that much. The bargain hunting is the best part.
bass1980 reply :
Steez + sv spool and Dobyns DX for me. However going to sell that setup soon for a reAL steez sv and probably going to pair with something megabass.
DaveT63 reply :
St Croix Legend Extreme with a Daiwa Pixy PX68L Retail about $900, spent about $500
G Loomis MBR842C GLX with a Steez, Retail close to $1000, spent $400.
I don't buy hardly anything new. Too many good deals to be found on good used gear if you are patient and keep your eyes peeled.

Two winters ago I got a Rainshadow RX7 custom and an RX8 custom...$100 and $105 respectively to my door. I looked up the cost of the RX8 blank. $144 and change. My first spiral wrapped rod. The RX7 is less, but still a great rod with more sensitivity than most of my rods.

masterbass reply :
A couple of years ago I read these types of posts and couldn't believe the money people put into combos and now I'm right up there with them, lol. I will say I look for sales and used stuff. My combo would have retailed for over $1000, but I spent $550 which is still a lot of money.

Wow. Got to try me one of those Mettles if they are good enough for you to have 10 of them. Need to wait for the $25 sale tho.

I don't know if we'll ever see $25 Mettles again. The last two years they were $29. But now the retail price is more than when they were $49. I watch for Black Friday or other sales and stock up. Watching for sales is part of the fun. I have just about everything I need so I can be patient and watch for good deals.
As far as Mettles, for the money, they are surprisingly decent.
