My spending has reduced at lot recently, I do keep thinking I need new rods I only have budget ones but they do everything I want them to do. I got a new barrow a couple of years ago which I which I'd gone for a bigger one because now I'm doing more over nighters I'm having to do two trips, it's not a long push just a pain. I think when I make any future large purchases I'm going to go for better quality gear that hopefully last longer without replacing. I have decided I'm going to treat myself to some new alarms next that won't be for a while because I will have to save up and not tell the wife what they cost. I'm going to go for delkims, I've always had budget alarms so I want some decent ones.
