Blimey this makes me realise I've been a tight old so and so down the years. I do baulk at paying out lots of money for anything that's going to get thrown down muddy banks and stored in the garage. So I reckon I might have paid £75-ish quid for a Shakespeare Mach 3 match rod when they first came out (it was a reasonable discount off the RRP mind...). I bought a second one (the "XT" version, identical as far as I could tell) later on when I snapped the first one by being a clumsy idiot.
I might have paid a similar amount for a Fox Evolution brolly in about 2007. It's approaching end of life now and likely to be replaced with a fox easy brolly which if I do pull the trigger will come in at about £105, something like that? On several occasions in the past I've been tempted on to get a wholesale batch of upgraded fixed spool reels, but when it came to it I just ended up getting the more recent Okuma baitrunners to replace the previous (worn out) Okuma baitrunners. I think I need to show this entire thread to my wife!!
