FishTank reply :

Christmas is just around the corner. What fishing equipment do you guys want Santa to bring you?

I'm hoping to find a new Shimano Stradic 2500 and maybe a St. Croix Avid or Legend Tournament but I have to get the kids taken care of first.

Ho, ho, ho!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jake P reply :

Im set rod and reel wise. I think im gonna ask for a bunch of tackle and a new tackle box.

Jimzee reply :

Daiwa Steez 8' Flipping Rod and Lowrance 10" LCD Unit for the front of the boat. Oh, and some new underwear.

roadwarrior reply :

I must be getting clothes.

Just noticed a BPS sack in the trunk of the wife's car today and I KNOW she' not shopping for tackle!

Girls find sooooo many ways to waste money. :

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

I'm getting a new 32' Regulator CC, 4 new Penn 130 two-speed reels, the new Furuno radar,a small house in the country, Roberts rod collection, that cutie that works at the bank, a candy cane, a contract with Bassmaster University to go teach for 250k/yr, a pony, a 2005 Aston Martin Vantage,and a new alarm clock because I just smashed the one that woke me up from this dream.

guest reply :

I'm in a bit of quandary this year.

This will seem totally obnoxious to many of you,

and I don't blame you, but my problem is that I have more than enough of everything, and it's all high end stuff that I love.

I have I have 7 rods, 5 GLx's one legend elite and one Legend Tournament bass crankin' stick.

I have 4 TD-Z's, an upgraded Sol, a Fuego, and a steez.

Plus I have assorted "retired" rods and reels, that still work fine, I just don't use them anymore.

Oh, I forgot....I have an Okuma swimbait rod with matching Okuma round baitcaster for heavy swimbaits.

I also have a couple of ultra light avid series spinning rods with assorted daiwa or shimano spinning reels for playing around with bream

I have a St. croix flyrod and a custom Star rod for inshore fishing.

I have dozens of my favorite lures, and lot's of other stuff I never use.

I donated a bunch of tackle to Muddy's program but I still enough left over to fill my garage.

Like I said, I know this sounds like I'm trying to flaunt being rich or whatever. Trust me ....I ain't.

But when your as old as I am,,, and bass fishing for as long as i have been, you accumulate lotsa stuff.

then you upgrade it all, and you have even more stuff.

All I ever buy these days is hooks, and line.

whatsa basser to do?

KYbass1276 reply :

I think I'm good on the fishing dept. I would like to have a new Matthews bow though.

Jake. reply :

I usually just ask for money for Christmas, so I plan on buying a Revo SX for the new Avid I just bought, a scale, a new tackle box, and a new ultra light combo for bluegill and crappie.

Oh, and a few more lucky crafts. :

MALTESE FALCON reply :

I'm set with rods and reels, I have a few lures I want to get, but that's about all. My one big want/need is an Aqua View camera. I've always wanted to see what is down there in a few of my favorite haunts. I'm just having a difficult time convincing the Minister Of Finance.

bass109 reply :

I guess i'm done buying tons of tackle this year. 8-) Might get a few on christmas though, nothing big.

John J. reply :

I've got a lot of tackle to begin with and I really don't need much. But me and my family drew names to see who were are going to buy for (besides everyone buying for everyone and spending a whole lot of money), and my brother in law drew me, and the limit is $50 (no more), so I told him a few tackle things, maybe a new rod/reel combo or stuff like that.

And then my parents might buy me a cd player for my truck. It came standard with an am/fm radio and I have a lot of music cds that I'd like to listen to as I am commuting back and forth to college everyday.

So possibly a new cd player for my truck and a few baits or a rod and reel combo this year.

MattStrykul reply :

John J if your truck has a cassette player you can get one of these....

Ya RR but if it wornt for them we'd all be out there in our unduros....

Tokyo Tony reply :

This won't necessarily be for Christmas, but moreso before iceout next spring. I'm looking to get:

Loomis GLX (I may end up with GL3 - depends) casting rod with Revo SX

Loomis Bronzeback rod with either Shimano Stradic or Pfleuger Supreme

*maybe* a new 5 or 6 weight flyrod and reel

Cheapish used bassboat ~16ft

Obviously the accumulation of lures will continue throughout the winter.

Ambitious but possible if I *literally* play my cards right.

fishfordollars reply :

A new Lowarance LMS520 GPS unit.

Davis reply :

Wife and I don't exchange for Christmas.

We just buy for our families and of coarse make sure our son is taken care of.

tntitans21399 reply :

Since This was my first year at Bass fishing and started with the bottom rods and reels, I will maybe ask for a gift card to BPS, Academy Sports, Walmart, or Dicks Sporting Goods to upgrade rods.

Well, that's probably been a good thing for some years, but do YOURSELF a favor and get her a gift anyhow! You will be miles ahead and your life with wife will be soooooo much better. Build up a few chits, you never know when you'll need 'em.

guest reply :

I am just hoping to have enough $ available to make those closest to me know that I was thinking about them this year

mattm reply :

My wife asked me this the other day. I'm still trying to decide between another guided fork trip or a carrot stick and Revo STX.

It 's been several years I 've asked him for a Megabass F366X Cyclone or F566X Bearing Down rod, so far ....... NUTHIN !!!!!!!!! :-[ so -----> Santa can come and kiss my bony arse ! >

This year I 'm gonna ask The BaitMokey for the same, I can bet he 's by far more reliable than Santee Klos.

Low_Budget_Hooker reply :

Raul- If you had SNOW,.....Santa would be able to land, but.......

mayassa reply :

I'd like to get a trolling motor for the Bow and a cheap fish finder

twors reply :

Santa Garry will get himself a new BCR803 or 804 Mossyback and while he wants a new MG51, he'll probably settle for a 101 Curado. Life is sooo hard being single...LOL!

fishfordollars reply :

Diawa Steez combo please. I had an opportunity to examine one yesterday. Awsome is not good enough. That combo was the lightest thing I have ever put in my hand.

Tin reply :

New 6'9" mh casting carrot stick, some Optimum 4" suspending swim baits, and a ton of GYCB Twin Tail Hula Grubs, in Green Pumpkin, Aquamelon Gold, and Black Blue

eastkybass reply :

Already have it setting in the back at the bait shop. New Citica reel with a Bronzeback Gloomis rod to match. Al I have to do is go pick it up.

Top reply :

I want a 14 foot Jon boat decked out with all the trimmiings...

unfortunately Mrs Claus hasn't a Clue what to get and she doesn't want it sitting at the North Pole while I am at the South Pole.. SOOOO unfortunately unless I find some elves to help me out... that dream isn't going to happen until next Aug or so IF I am lucky

Santa AL

luckyinkentucky reply :

I'd like to have a TD Zillion, but I won't be upset if I don't get it. Santa has already done most of the shopping this year, and I suspect She got me some other things I'll enjoy just as much! After all ... it's all about the kids this time of year. Us adults have already had our fun. It's just as fun in watching them open their gifts.

LCpointerKILLA reply :

one of those gnarly looking Team diawa Ito series baitcasters that are really hard to find. Cork handles/?

Reelmech is upgrading the bearings and drag washers on my Fuego and Advantage.

Branuss04 reply :

Well Santa came early for me this year. I got myself... I mean santa got me a Diawa Tierra 2000, a Shimano Crucial 7-2 Dropshot rod, a hud, BBZ-1, M/S. Slammer, and some other new tackle already. and he's getting me a new Lowrance X96 during december. I guess I've been a good boy this year.

Same for us too. Dec is always bad for us anyway. I have taxes to pay this month as well. Also my wife graduates school next week but I had to pay $200 for her to take her final exam or something like that. I stated I like to have a new mattews bow but thats going to be a while. To be honest though I like the time with the family thats the best gift I could get so I'm happy

farmpond1 reply :

Well, since my car just got out of the shop, my wish list has to be a little smaller this year. But at least I have money to pay for that so I'm grateful.

FishinDaddy reply :

New seats for my boat and maybe and unbent trolling motor prop....those rocks in ga were rough...

michbass reply :

It is hard for me at least to come up with things I want. Normally buy them myself.. I can't really think of anything this year except practical stuff which is boring. Well there is this one thing but it will never happen :'( it involves... :-X

michbass reply :

It was great being a kid and waking up to tear though all the cool stuff. Miss it.

bassnleo reply :

I'm gettin a trip to Guntersville at the end of March

Redlinerobert reply :

I'm so grateful for what I have, I honestly can't think of anything material that I want. A trip to Acapulco with Gidget would be awesome.

Red reply :

lets see...i told my wife a few things...like an electric razor, some screwdrivers, t-shirts....oh yeah, some more LC's and some jigs
