Between £10 and £20 usually. Went in yesterday just for a chat and came out with two more bags of pellets (to join the other 20) and a few packs of frozen dead baits. And I only went in for a chat.... I must feel sorry for them at the mo.

I find the £10 spend goes under the radar ad far had her ladyship is concerned

Probably £2-£3 on average but I don`t use a dedicated tackle shop so I`ll usually buy 1/2 pint of maggots and maybe some pellets or worms and the odd pack of hooks or other small bits and pieces.

15 - 20 pounds a time. I'd hate to tot it all up at the end of the year!!
I refuse to answer the question on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.
Suffice to say that when I go into Dave Moody's shop he usually calls to his wife Christine to, "get the holiday brochures out love"
I get all of my coarse fishing kit from Moody's even if I have to wait to have it ordered.
For fly fishing requirements then Orvis at Stockbridge fill most of my needs.

I used to do a bit of part time work in a local tackle shop and if a guy came in with his wife, it was my job to start chatting to the wife while the owner sold the guy the tackle he needed or may be didn't need. It was a ploy that worked quite well on anumberof occasions.
£5? £5? I dream of only spending £5!
As a newbie every visit is an experience and invariably I come out with what I wanted plus a small armful of stuff I think it's worth "giving a try" plus some stuff I never knew I needed.
On average it's £10-£20 a go with a splurge every now and again which usually co-oincides with payday.
I'm getting better but as they say the first step is admitting you have a problem.
And I never take the Mrs having told her they are nasty smelly places a respectable woman wouldn't be seen dead in.

I usually only intend to get some maggots but end up with some extra hooks, shot, feeders etc. so quite often get shocked when it comes out at £20 - £25.
Sometimes have to take the bag straight from the car to the shed to avoid unpleasant spousal confrontation. :wh
