How much do most of you spend at the sport shows?

I drop about $50 no matter how hard I try not to.[;)]

I usually only go to one per year(the Milwaukee musky show), and it is usually about a 250-$300 endeavor. Now that I'm looking for a home to buy, and have 3 of every size and color Reef Hawg made, I hope to cut back this year.

In am one of the guys on the other side of the table trying to get YOU to SPEND,SPEND, SPEND...so I rarely spend alot.

I can't help but spend $50.00 to &100.00 at each one. Sometimes more if I am looking for a new rod or reel. I guess all together it's probably more than that due to what I will call "residual" buying. That is seeing something at the shows and thinking about it for a while. Then going to my favorite sport shop and buying that. Also way to much of other stuff as well.

Sponge,
The you would absolutely lose your mind at a midwest musky show. Especially with the way these are looking to be this year. I'm with sworrall and usually trying to get you all to spend, spend, spend and I'm typically dropping a little here and there for something that I can't get into the store here at St. Croix.

I goto a show every weekend. We have so many. I buy something just about every time but the musky shows get me for 50-200 bucks every time. With five of them this year and I will most likely be at all of them, well that gonna be about 500 bucks.

The last time I went to a show I dropped over 20K, that is when I ordered my new boat and all the goodies to go with it. My boss (Wife) is real nervous about the upcoming chicago show as I was telling her I could use some new Rods & Reels.

See ya at the Shows $$$

I try to keep it under a $100.00. and make a list of what I think I need to get. But, a funny thing happens all the time the list gets bigger when I get there. It happens every time.[::)]

LOL JEFF!!!! Know EXACTLY how you feel....3 yrs. ago I took a Sat. + went to a boat yard outside Ft. Bragg in N.C. to LOOK at some boats....lost me head + was determined not to leave there w/out something behind the truck....took a deep breath + put the boat + stuff on Sponge Babes' VISA + headed north.....she came home that afternoon + I was fooling w/ the new toy.....she said "pretty neat" + went in the house only to return 1.3 seconds later wanting to know how I "got it"....I hung my head + whispered " I put it on your credit card".....I'll leave the rest to your imagination but I thought for sure I'd have to go to the emergency room to have her foot removed from me backside + her purse from the back of my head! We can laugh about it now but5 you can be sure Monday morning I was at the bank mailing out a check to cover the damages! Didn't love me as much as I thought I guess.....[;)] [:sun:]

I could never make a list for a sport show. At every twist and turn is a new lure or product and I have to have it.[:bigsmile:]

no matter how many times you promise yourself "now I'll only go and buy that specific item", you always leave the show or the store with more than you came for. Fishermen will always stay fishermen. I don't consider it a weakness but I guess soe wifes may have a different opinion! LOL

I usually spend between 40 and 60$
