Exactly what the title says, but rather than say "a new rod, hooks and line".. give specifics!
How would you spend $500???

You have $500 to your favourite fishing tackle store. What do you spend it on?

Just what I figured---some pinners would want to make a $500 down payment on a "good reel"!!

um , even the regular colour zeppelin is going to cost you 847.50 dollars without shipping, not sure how you did your math.
now what would i buy? only things i want i can't buy from any store, they are all custom. but would save 200 more and get cts rod.
if i dont need anything like rod or reel. i would save 500 dollars and buy terminal tackle, bait, stuff like that. i dont even try and every time i go to a fishing store i come out spending 45 bucks. that is 10 trips.

Beer and a hooker, oops I have to spend it at a store! LOL
Just more tackle, have enough rods and reels. Maybe some fancy fishing duds. 
Or if all else failed some new arrows for my bows.

I'd spend most of it on expensive fluorocarbon and replacement hooks for lures.

I have no freakin idea. I'd either ask the store employee what get or ask one of you peeps to come help me out 
I'm ig'nant but learning. If I was left to my own devices I would probably get distracted by shiney things and not necessarily make the smartest purchases, lol.

Sure wouldn't waste it on a Zeppelin. I have been tossing around the idea of getting into spey fishing, so maybe a spey rod and reel.

I would trade it with a gas gift card. That covers the gas money for 30 trips. Enough to get me to April
But if has to be in a tackle store, then an Orvis Pro wading jacket
