ideas on money to spend 2024
hoosiergramps reply :
I have around $250 burning a hole in my fishing pocket. I really don't NEED anything. I have a couple loomis rods and my others are still good. I have several stx, curado and chronarch reels. Not enough for new trolling motor or power poles. what would you spend it on?
Brew City Bass reply :
Whenever I got spare cash and no real needs I like to burn it on baits. Can't go wrong with the staples like plastics, hard lures etc.
Stock up on line, weights, hooks. List goes on an on.

Fluorocarbon and Braid. Buy a few bulk spools. You'll save yourself money in the long run.
Largies4Life reply :
I would stock up on terminal tackle and line as that seems to be one of my expensive purchases every season in order to restock those.
Heartland reply :
A good pair of polarized sunglasses, a good pair of pliers, a nice scale, buy some good hooks to replace the stock hooks on some of your baits. Gator to keep the sun off your head and face, a landing net if necessary, rod socks, reel covers. Let me know if you need any more help spending your money.

well, if you really dont need anything,my birthday is only about 2 months away so I'd be more than happy to p.m. you my wishlist ????

Costas! Choose whichever frame you like, but go with 580G lenses. My favorites are Silver Mirror, but also try Green Mirror etc. Preferably in a store where you can go outside with them on so you can get the full effect.

Do what I do! Pick a style of lure you hardly ever throw (say, crankbaits for instance) and go out and buy a ton of them. Then put them all in a box, and never fish them.
Tennessee Boy reply :
Buy some new fishing pants that don't have holes burned in the pockets.

If there really isn't a single thing you need, save the money or pay a bill or do something nice for someone in your life.

If there's nothing on your wish list, sock the money away and keep adding to the stash. At some point there will be something you want. Unless you're made of money (which is fine BTW), if you spend it now, you might wish you had it later.
Not spending money is money in the bank.

Save it back, for when you need it

This^ ICAST isn't far off when all the shiny new things come out. Stick the money in a drawer for when those goodies come out and the monkey starts jumping up and down on your shoulders and dragging you to the computer to put in a TW order.
blckshirt98 reply :
Start collecting rare swimbaits. If you ever need cash you can always sell them, usually same-day for close to what you paid for it.
TOXIC reply :
For me it would be gas/oil for the boat. I have a "fuel fund" that gets depleted really fast once spring hits.
WVU-SCPA reply :
Double down and put it all on black.
Or American Express has a 2.1% APY savings account.
Oregon Native reply :
If you want a warm fuzzy feeling...do something for someone random. Either in a store or restaurant. Could be a kid staring at an outfit to go fishing with his dad or a family having a meal. Sounds like you been blessed.

Never know when someone isnt as fortunate as you or is running into tough times, keep some of that with you and offer to help someone in need, whether it be donating to a charity or paying for someones gas or meal. An act of kindness can change someones life really quickly ????
Jig Man reply :
If you put it away and keep adding to the stash you may get enough to buy those power poles or upgrade to a new chart plotter.

A couple of tatula sv's cause if you have one you'll want another.
PourMyOwn reply :
Protective clothing-those Columbia PFG shirts are way better than getting a sunburn or worse.
Fishes in trees reply :
Have our evolved from lead bullet weights to tungsten yet? I've been fishing for a long time, but I switched over to tungsten weights and my tx rig fishing skills improved considerably. At this point, I wouldn't consider going back to lead bullet weights.
The point here being that you could drop $250 on tungsten weights pretty easily and that would solve the spare money issue.
Jig Rookie reply :
1. Dobyns Fury 806SB ($130 on TW)

5. Jackall Gantarel ($40)
6. Put the last $5 in your tank, drive to the nearest lake, catch your PB.

Got kids?
CrankFate reply :
When that happens, I just buy a few extra jackets that I don’t need.
hoosiergramps reply :
lots of great ideas fellas. thanks. But, as is usually the case had to spend it on fixing my trailer. at least I had it to spend!
HenryPF reply :
Buy a gift certificate for yourself and start making a wish list of where you bought it from. Knowing you can spend it anytime is a nice feature and I usually edit my wish list multiple times before I drop the gift certificate.
