I got that ¥150,000 “god-tier” set on Jimoty.
…And then a thought crossed my mind.
“Wait. How much would this cost if I bought everything brand new?”
Once that question appears, there’s no escape.
So I did what any normal person would do:
I researched the market prices for a hypothetical brand-new full setup.
※ Rough market averages around 2019. Prices vary by brand and timing.
What Counts as a “Full Set” (New)
- Inflatable boat
- 2HP outboard motor
- Dolly (transport cart)
- Fish finder
- Oars / paddles
- Rod holders & flag
- Anchor + sea anchor
- Slow jigging setup (rod, reel, lures)
“Looking at it calmly… yeah, that’s a lot.”
Estimated New Prices by Item
| Item | Low-End Price | Mid to High-End Price |
|---|---|---|
| Inflatable boat (2–3 person) | ≈ ¥80,000 | ¥250,000–¥350,000 (Domestic brands, hard floors, etc.) |
| 2HP outboard motor | ≈ ¥110,000 | ¥150,000–¥160,000 |
| Dolly | ≈ ¥10,000 | ¥20,000–¥30,000 |
| Fish finder | ≈ ¥20,000 (Small portable model) |
¥100,000–¥250,000 (High-performance models) |
| Oars / paddles | ≈ ¥5,000 | ¥15,000–¥20,000 |
| Rod holders & flag | ≈ ¥5,000 | ¥10,000–¥15,000 |
| Anchor / sea anchor | ≈ ¥10,000 | ¥15,000–¥20,000 |
| Slow jigging setup | ≈ ¥20,000 | ¥60,000–¥80,000 |
So… What’s the Total?
Adding up those ranges, roughly speaking…
-
Low-end configuration
Absolute minimum setup:
Around ¥250,000–¥350,000 -
Mid to high-quality configuration
Mixing brand-name and high-performance gear:
¥400,000–¥700,000+ is entirely possible
“…That’s… just straight-up expensive.”
Comparing It to the Jimoty God Set
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Jimoty god-tier set | ¥150,000 |
| Brand-new full set (low-end) | ¥250,000–¥350,000 |
| Difference | ≈ ¥100,000–¥250,000 |
Buying everything new means
“paying an extra ¥100,000–¥250,000 in exchange for warranties.”
How to Keep Costs Reasonable
- “All brand new” gets expensive immediately
- Items other than the boat and engine can often be bought used
- Amazon time sales and Rakuten Super Sales are objectively good
- At the beginning, focus only on what you truly need
Conclusion
- If buying new, be prepared for at least the high ¥200,000s
- A well-maintained used set can cut costs by nearly half
-
For me:
“Used god-tier set → upgrade only what’s necessary later”
was the optimal choice
Looking back with this price context,
that ¥150,000 set really was abnormal.
A miracle purchase.
I still believe that.
I’m not fluent in English, but I really wanted to share this story.
So I tried my best using translation tools to write this post.
