    Every year I say I got enough stuff, but I always need more..And I am just talking terminal tackle..Here is what it has cost me so far, and this will just get me thru this year.

    100 -8/0 circle hooks 50 bucks

    5- castnets 125 bucks

    70 - 5 ounce no roll sinkers 80 bucks

    4000 yds of 25-lb test biggame line 50 bucks

    If I ever lose my job I will have to quit fishing!

    The tackle does get extremely exspensive.................but lets talk about the 100s of gallons of gas we are going to use in a typical year powering those way too big outboards.:smile2:

    We could have saved you the $80.00 in lead if you'd come up this past weekend. Course you would have spent close to that in gas.... but you coulda had more than 30 sinkers. :wink:

    Let me help you Jack with the castnet expense.Each of those castnets comes with a rope with a loop in the end.Purpose is to attach it to your hand when you throw the net.That way you will be able to retrieve it and not have to buy a new one.!!!!:smile2::wink::roll_eyes:Strange for some reason I thought you were smarter than MELLON!!!!!!!:cool2::tounge_out::eek:oooh:On the other hand MELLON doesnt use cast nets anymore he just shoots into the water will all his self defense weapons and picks up all the stunned baitfish he needs.:smile2:
