Wanted to see what all fishing related gifts you guys got today? I've got a ton of pics to upload later!
Coal... ugh another year on the naughty list
Wife got me all kinds of new stuff! Sun shirts, light duty rain suit, auto/ manual life vest
Just some clearance 6th sense cranks, some shadow raps and shads from when they had the crazy code stacking deal and some gear we got when a gander store was closing. This weekend will likely get some more menace grubs and some spybaits and siebert wave heads.
So a little bit of stuff.
4 different colors of reaction innovations sweat beaver. black red flake, black/blue, a green pumpkin blue flake, and a pumpkin with some green flakes. Don’t know the exact names of the patterns but they’re pretty sweet and I’ve actually never used anything from them before!
I also got a pflueger supreme xt 30
Also wanted to note this was a gift to myself my loved ones don’t get me fish related gifts anymore because apparently I have too much gear! Oops
The kids got me a gift Certificate to Cabelas. I think I'll look at hardware, split rings, hooks, stuff like that. Oh, and some pistachios...
Other than that I tell them to go easy... I usually get whatever I want on my own anyway.
Best thing I got was family together. That's all that's needed really.
I got a bass fishing calendar, some money, and a pack of Zoom Ultra Vibe Speed Craws in Cajun Craw color. I'm thinking it might be a god SMB color. I've never tried this color so I guess I'll find out .
My wife gave me a Cabela’s Advanced Angler’s backpack. My son gave me 4 Rapala Husky Jerks (regular and deep). My daughter gave me a gift card to BassPro. Santa dropped off 2 Daiwa Tatula rods: 7’ Medium and 7’1’ Heavy for me.
Reel cleaning kit, some crankbaits, lure covers so I can stop having to extricate treble hooks out of the carpet in my hatch, stuff like that.
I got myself a Lew's MB reel from the tackle warehouse sale and some more Sweet Beavers.
I'm pretty stoked.
I got a couple Plano Edge boxes and a couple Plano bait wraps for my swimbaits.
Mostly got a lot of clothes because my wife is tired of me wearing all my old clothes that about fall off of me now.
My son managed to find the strength* to join his sister, me and his mother for our traditional sharing of Christmas morning gifts around the fireplace and Christmas tree in the living room. No better gift then spending time with my family.
Tom
* Tom spent the last 6 days in the hospital getting TPN-PICC line for nutrition and is very weak from his fight with cancer.

No coal but got a new stick for myself, a JDM Zodias for right at 100.00 shipped. Absolute steal.
So PROUD
I gotta say I'm pretty particular and now I pretty much have everything I need. I was wanting some Suffix in yellow but it has to be ordered as stores around here just are not believers in yellow for the most part. WELL.....my son put a 300 yd spool under the tree in ten pound......sweeeeeet. Off comes the nano…..on comes the Suffix.
Off to battle after radiation.....
Wife and kids got me a Lews Laser combo. Never been much of a Lews guy, so I'll give it a whirl.
Rain jacket and rain pants.
Raingear, rod building kit and a stick, a Nocqua 12v 10ah to power my fish finder, an anchor wizard to make offshore fishing a bit easier.
Forgot the Daiwa Tatula 100 6.3:1, it's gonna be used on the custom stick I'm building for jerkbaits and target casting in lighter cover.
I got This curado 201, a pair of Costas, and a pair of fishing gloves. I've been a good boy, I guess lol. I've got to find a rod to put this 6.2 ratio reel on, it will be used for spinnerbaits.
Filet table...
You know for the stripers, reds, trout, bluegill, gar..and yeah, sometimes bass
An slx dc and a dobyns fury rod to go along with it.
Between my birthday which was a week before Thanksgiving, and the annual Yule check from the parents which is for 'play'...have to spend it on fun stuff - no paying bills or such.
Diawa Fuego CT-H
Plueger Supreme baitcaster
Fury 705CB
Fury 702SF
Hoards of crankbaits, jerkbaits, plastics...good amount of jigs, topwaters, spinners and terminal tackle
SPF 50, long-sleeved, fishing T-shirt with integrated gaiter and hood
Full-zip hoodie for those cool mornings
and a few items for the canoe.
I ran outta “likes” halfway through this thread?! I guess I’ll be resupplied tomorrow.
My youngest out did herself. Two Christmas ago, my gift was getting a different salami from a different country every month. This year, I received a “Man Crate”, complete with crowbar, containing numerous exotic jerky for when I go out in the boat. I mean, what’s a “Biltong” anyway? Not to mention a complete plastic bait kit from the same company.
I did get a few fishing items, reel, lures, and my license with a two rod stamp. But I thought the Man Crate was pretty cool stuff.
I received the Plano Edge terminal box.
Gave my grandson a Dobyns fury cranking rod with a Lews speedspool 5.6-1 to go on it.
I got a pretty cool Swimbait and a bunch of gift cards. So I can pick up that expride for very little of my own money. I’m pretty happy.
As Tennessee Ernie Ford use to sing "Another day older and deeper in debt". Really had all 4 of my kids over and all the grand kids over for Christmas lunch and opening presents.

Me to, had everyone one for Christmas breakfast. Three little ones, from 7-2. That’s the real joy watching how excited they get for there presents.
I got gift cards from my wife, and brother in law. Everything else was clothing.
...and some wool socks.

I thought it'd be just skeins of yarn and you MAKE the sox with the bobbin.
A little late but I traded my 09 tow vehicle(left) for a 2020 tow vehicle(right) today.

Those new Silverados are some smooth driving machines. I've got a 19 Texas edition (only because there's not an Oklahoma edition ????). I like the direction Chevy is taking!
A new book of checks.
Shimano Tranx 300AHG!
I ordered myself a Dobyns Champion 734 and hit Dick's up after to re up on ned heads. Also pick up some tube jigs and caffeine tubes. I want to try tube fishing this year.
Used gift cards and bought this a carbon light 2.0 combo with a 8:3:1 gear ratio cabelas. If you bought the rod and reel separate it was $240.
Before spring, I’d like to get. st.croix bass mojo 7ft 2 inch heavy to replace might my berkly lighting rod. For pitching and flipping into right cover. I all ready have a reel for it.

Still on backorder and date changed again..."SIGH."

I've still got a couple things from my Black Friday order at TW waiting to get back in stock.

I now have one on backorder too. My thoughts are as long as I have it by the season opener in May all is good. But would love to have it sooner to be able to arrange and rearrange the jigs multiple times before said opener;)
Several packs of worms and a gift card from BassPro from our kids. New, to me, locator. My buddy bought a new one for his boat and sold me his 998.
I went overboard, again. (I tell my kids not to get me anything.)
I just get my own stuff: 4 Daiwa Tatula 100; 4 Daiwa 60th anniversary reels; a used, near mint Daiwa Pixy 68R (just had to have it).
Then I prepaid for reel super tuning and bearings for 10 reels. Too good of a deal to pass up.
My wife bought me some costas with readers in them. Something I never would have thought of or bought for myself. Should make tying knots and such easier on the boat.
Just had Christmas with my dad and stepmom a week late because I had the flu. I think I made out pretty well.
Down sizing blurred things a bit. The rod is a Speed Demon flippin’ stick and the reel is a Spartacus.
