hard to say, some fishing poles are a couple of hundred bucks. then there's the reels to go with them. don't forget all the lures and extras. i have 3 machines. 2 of them were about $1700 each. he has about 50 poles, some cheap, some not. he also has a fish finder, several gps's, and a very nice boat! i told him even when i get my longarm i wont be caught up!!!! this, of course, is my excuse for fabric..... it's all fun and games though. we just kid about these things!
