What I bought today....(How much are we worth?)
 

Hi guys,

I'm inviting all users to be part of an ambitious experiment, the aim of this experiment is to gauge how much we as rec anglers spend on tackle & other fishing consumables.

So we post up what we've bought that day (or recently) & add it to the aggregated monetary total. Any kind of tackle or bait purchase is eligible to be added on although purchases must be Australian bought gear. Online purchases are cool as long as it's an Austalian site.

I think it will be interesting to see how much we spend as a group over the next three months or so as we come up to the peak fishing/spending period.

Anyways to get the ball rolling-

1 pack Ma Ma (Maria) paddletail grubs $12.95

(And guys if ya scared about getting caught buying those rods you "already have" maybe you should hold off posting them up!;))

$7.50 size 12 trebles
________
Zx14 Vs Hayabusa

$20.45 in total then.

Remember to add your purchase to the running total.
