« on: November 27, 2009, 09:05:12 PM »
So with the holiday season approaching fast. What are the must haves for the avid fisherman?

What will you be asking santa for, big or small, let's hear it all!



I know i'll be asking for a new pair of forceps and a fishing magazine subscription.

seeing as my other half wont buy me fishing stuff anymore that caused me to turn into santa for myself. this year i bought my self a switch rod setup

Beulah 7/8wt 11' rod
Lamson Guru reel
Airflo 540 grain shooting and Guideline running line

everything all together ran me about $800  ;D and that was because rod was half price. cant wait until i get an xmas steely on it now  ;D

Oh ya and i also got xmas presents from the fly shop because my warranty stuff al came back in the last 2 weeks

Geff, I'm familiar with the childrens ICU and wishing your niece all the best.

I plan to shortly take a trip to my local fishing shop and scout out a few things that I will then pass on to my wife as possible gifts. I'm interested in a lighter coho oriented drift rod, and a wading jacket to replace my old raincoat.

Get the 330GTi- my second trip I saw a 320 near spooled by a 6 footer.


Myself, I'm hoping for another waterproof digital (super) tough camera... but I doubt it.
