Not a bragging rights thread, more of a curiosity really.
I bought a Daiwa Whisker pole when the first editions came out which, iirc, set me back around £1200 around the late 90's (?).
Makes me cringe when I think about it now, even though i'll probably be shelling out just as much for an 11' rod before long although I had more than my money's worth out of the pole considering what I flogged it for a couple of years later.
After that it falls away sharply (thankfully!) and slightly behind the Matchbox seatbox set up I also had at the time it would be the Marksman rods.
What's your single most expensive item of tackle you've ever bought and does the figure you spent on it make you cringe when you look back on it?
