What did ya get for Christmas? Did you get everything you wanted? Did you get anything really great that you weren't expecting?
I received a Crucial Swimbait Rod 7'11" H action. To go with that an AG Ambassadeur 6500 reel and a large spool of P-Line CX green in 20 lbs. My grandson and daughter did a great job in selecting my Xmas present. Now if the weather will co-operate I will get to use it.
C'mon springtime!!!!
Im pretty hard to buy for so I always get money and gift cards. I then got myself a underwater camera for ice fishing. Theres 10 inches of ice and like 3 feet of snow here! Also getting a frog rod and a new reel.
I'm 15, and this will probably be the last big christmas present year. But I'm fine with it. Here's what I got though.

Two Curado's

I "gave myself" to the dark side earlier this year with a Shimano Citica. I'm just learning to use the Force a little bit better now to graduate up to the Curado. ;D
Funny thing is, I'm already starting to think about a possible future Shimano Curado 300 for swimbaits. The dark side has fully taken me in, there's no doubt.
Daiwa Zillion 100HSA
4 Super Spook Jr.'s
2 Badonk-A-Donks
3 Sebile Ghost Walkers
6 Yo-Zuri Trembler 95's
4 Yo-Zuri Edge Minnows
2 Koppers Pumpkinseed Crankbaits
2 Plano 4600 Guide series boxes
I am very pleased with what I received.
Pflueger President
BPS PQ
Abu Veritas (3 guides were broken while shipping I guess :'(})
A ton of Strike King cranks and Rapala jerkbaits
Some BPS giftcards
Getting an 870 sometime or my parents got me a case for nothing ;D
Couldn't ask for more.
I always wanted one of these (the D model is the best looking IMHO) so I was a bad boy and got myself one that came in a couple days before Christmas. Got my wife something equally nice to match so I didn't feel too guilty......
Now only 3 or 4 more months of ice fishing before I can put this one to use......
Matt
Well I made out pretty good. My wife got me a Daiwa Viento and a Powell Max rod. The Daiwa went on my flippin stick and the rod paired with a Revo S-L. My wifes step dad got me an Abu C4(this thing casts a Bandit 300 a mile in front of my house) which I paired with a 7' custom rod I made on an Allstar blank, this will be my deep crankin rod. My nephews got me a new set of ratchet straps to tie my boat down. Not to mention the $200 Cabelas gift cards I got from my company Christmas party. It was an awesome Christmas this year...best part is, my brother in law will be home from Afghanistan by the end of the week!
Cliff
P.S. Nothing quite like seeing those boys' faces when they saw what Santa brought!!
Nothing for bass fishing.......all ice fishing this year. From the wife, a new 1 man Frabill flip over shanty,from the kids a portable propane heater, from my boss's cash gift a Lowrance X-67 ice machine, and from myself a 5" auger.
I must have been really good this year. I got 2 new Pflueger Patriarch XTs and a Patriarch Spinning reel and a new tackle bag.
Later,
I bought myself a swimbait stick and a new swimbait reel. I got a plano swimbait box, black and red spinnerbait, pro cure trout scent, and a few baitsmiths.

Matt, that Stella is a VERY nice reel, I had one for a few months, sometimes I wish I would have kept it.
I got tons of plastics and some new topwater and crankbaits.
My wife bought me a new Veritas and Abu Garcia Orra. Im gonna use it for spinnerbaits. A new pair of Native Sunglasses (which i LOVE) and a sweet LSU columbia PFG shirt.

Only gift I got was a fishing lic. But seeing my grand kids was priceless. I really had no wants or needs this year fishing wise. I had recently purchased 4 Revo Premiers, 4 STX's, 7 Veritas rods. In addition to that I scored big on the Black Friday sales with $700 worth of terminal tackle and baits.
