I think this question was started by someone's wife.... not a good topic.  This should be DELETED ASAP!   :cookoo:  I mean, what REAL guy cares about how much he already has???   It's the new stuff we don't have that we should measure!

hmmmmm.............don't tell the wife -

Me personally, between the arctic armor suit, boots, sleds, rods, tackle, etc. etc. - I probably have somewhere around $1,500 - $2,000 in icefishing stuff.

Are we counting ATVS that are used on the ice? if so, that number goes up a little ;)

I didn't know we were counting the pickup we use for ice fishing. Add $43,000 to my earlier post. ;)

I'd guess at 3k with rods, reels, tipups, auger, electronics, clothing, shanty, and lures.


"I fish because I love to; because I love the environs where trout are found,because I suspect that men are going along this way for the last time, and I  don't want to waste the trip; maybe one day I will catch a mermaid; and finally, not because I regard fishing as being so terribly important, but because I suspect that so m

Wow what a great topic......hard to say as I have scaled down (not by choice because of moving into a condo)  Resorted to just a jet sled, gas auger, portable shanty, comfy chair and lots of tip ups!  Probably about 1K

I have 2 ice blue rods at about 10 bucks each. an old clam one man flip over shanty from a garage sale at $25 and about $15 in jigs and line. I put in a $20 bait order from jada this year. my auger is an old 6in lazer a buddy gave me. So no counting gas I have under $100 in ice fishing gear.
