Personally this is all I spend my money on.

Anchor Sock
Coloured Beads
Braid
Shiney Lures
1000s coloured Squid Jigs
Bearing Buddies
Shop Bait
Salt Guides
Don't forget boat rebuilds.

I can't say I really fork out a lot of cash when it comes to fishing, except for my slight addiction to Z-Man soft plastics because they get the job done with the reddies (and I lose plenty to snags).

I will spend extra for good hooks (like the Black Magic circle hooks) and won't go too cheap on mono because I think the cheap line is just trash to work with.

Braid, however, I go very cheap on. I'm currently running Aldi braid and have not had a single problem so far.

I'll jag a decent rod on sale at Anaconda, though I don't think I've ever spent more than $100 on a combo.

Fuel.


The further you go away from Melbourne, the better the fishing is.
There is always more to learn , fish to catch , places to see and friends to make.
