You are right Bob. I've walked out of the hardware or paint store a whole bunch of times with a small bag that cost me $ 100.00 or more. The other thing that it is good for the less experienced to know about is the investment in tools. Sure, we have all gotten by in earlier times with a 3/8 drill and toolbox full of wrenches, but as you go deeper into this game you realize that the proper tool not only makes the job easier, but more professional looking too.

I would bet the average rodder has 2-3 times the investment in tools compared to what they have in the rod itself. And if you are a serious rodder, it is probably even more than that.
