Preparing for the new season... Write a list.

(c)

What to do angler-the spinner at the beginning of the offseason? Of course, apart from recreation and entertainment to think about the season the future)).

Be sure to make a list of all necessary works and purchases for future season based on the approximate cost. This will allow you to plan your budget in an optimal way, spreading a possible cash infusion into the hobby in the off-season months optimal way, leaving prior to the start of the new season spring months the need to do everything at once...

For a start, you should conduct an audit of all tackle and lures.

During inspection of a gear prepare to pass the maintenance of their reels, wash and clean in a secluded area of the rod. If they do have in the Studio, to make it to the list of works given the cost (Maintenance-1 of about 250-350 rubles,Maintenance-2 of about 500-700 rubles).

To check the level winding of the cords on the reel and to evaluate the possibility of using these cords in the future season. If the cords have deteriorated and even the retrieves of staking do not make up for the loss of the cord's length for a season, to make the plan purchases the desired number of bobbin, taking into account their cost.

To conduct an audit of lures. For the season, their losses are high (and breakages, and damage them with the bites of toothy-fanged fish). To make the shopping list the quantity and model silicone baits, crankbaits and spinners.

The same audit to be conducted regarding the consumables (hooks,leaders, sinkers, clockwork rings, buckles, etc.). It would seem that this is not expensive stuff. But when the account goes on tens for each position, the total sum can appear decent. And it is better to understand in advance and plan for in your budget.

For example here's my list for the next season:

• Maintenance (MC) of the reels.
  Shimano Twin Power 3000 SR - MC-1 (300 RUB)
  15 Shimano Twin Power 4000 - MC-1 (300 RUB)
  Daiwa Tournament Force 3000 - MC-1 (300 RUB)
  Dayva Freams 2500 - MC-1 (300 RUB)
  Work period - February

  Allvega Bullit Braid 0,14 , 270 meters, 1 PCs - 1500 rubles - January

• Silicone lure
  Relax Kopyto 4 inch ( color 057 101), 1 pack - 2pcs ( 620 rubles) December
  Relax Kopyto 5 inch (color 003, 057,101,175), 1 pack - 4 PCs ( 1040 rubles) December

• Consumables
  Leaders OnlySpin 30 cm - 10 packs (1100 rubles) April
  Sinkers weight 8,10,12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 36, 40 g for 20 pieces - ( 2200) April
  Hooks offset "Decoy Worm 17" 5\0 - 10 packs - 2400 RUB may
  Hooks offset "Decoy Worm 17" 4\0 - 5 packs - 1200 RUB may
  Total: 18830 RUB.

I am sure the list will grow , and most likely the expenditure will be about 22-25 thousand rubles. And given the fact that I have a greater number of lures, consumables, and some spools of the coils I will do the PREROLL the backing.
Over time this amount can overpower, but difficult. And when you have a list of expenses broken down by months, the amount of $ 3000-3500 per month.

I recommend to you, friends-colleagues in the hobby to attend to the drafting of the list of required and planning their spending ;-).
