Christmas list-words of advice 2024


fishing user avatarfarmpond1 reply : 

Yo! For all you fishermen (and women) out there! Unless you are brand new to the sport and have no equipment whatsoever, here is the best advice I can give you about your Christmas wish list. It will serve you well this year and many years to come:

Unless you are extremely specific and stress you want no substitutes, do not ask for fishing gear from friends and relatives. Otherwise, you will wind up with three nylon stringers, 2 dozen red and white bobbers, a gob of non-descript night crawler hooks, and one or two zebco 202's. If you do receive any lures, they will very likely be those cheap stamped spoons and knock off spinners mass produced in the billions in China.

You'll thank me later.

fishing user avatarBASSclary reply : 

Straight Cash Homey.

Its hard to not mess that up. I have a Grandma that likes to order knock-offs from catalogs. Those Banjo minnows really do suck  ;)

But the reason I prefer cash for fishing gear is, If i asked for only BPS gift cards, i'd get 50 in BPS, 25 in gander MT, 25 for DICKS, 15 for Sports Authority, and 25 for Wally World.

Thats 140 for 5 different stores, and if your saving for a nice pole or something, BPS doesn't take Gander MT and Wally world cards. But BPS does take cash  :)

Just my experiences and thoughts.

fishing user avatarSam reply : 

I compile a list for wife to go to either BPS or Green Top.

This year I do not need any fishing gear as I will settle for my two new Abu Revo Premier 30 spinning reels and Verdict rods.

Really wanted the big green largemouth bass mailbox but wife shot down that idea. That would have really gotten the neighbors in a huff.

Would love to have the new Lowrance Elite 5-DSI Chartplotter and Fishfinder but not for this Christmas. Maybe later in 2011.

Everyone get your lists ready for the sales start Thursday!!!  :D   :D   :D

fishing user avatarCWB reply : 

Being specific in what you want helps. Print out the item from BPS or T.W website and give to whoever is buying for you. If you're like most of us, you probably already have the latest rods, reels, lures, but mostly overlooked is line. IMO, the fresher, the better, except for braid which I think lasts forever. Again, be specific.

Don't just ask for line, ask for a specific brand and # test, or a particular lure from a specific store. Good luck and hope you all get what you want. I'm asking for gift cards that I can apply to a new GPS unit.

Bass Pro has that wish list feature.  You just add specific items to your wish list and you can email it to whomever. 

that way they can order the exact model # you selected.  I do that all the time for bowhunting stuff or bass fishing stuff.  No messing it up that way.  My family likes to get presents versus just gift cards sometimes.  So they like that they can get an actual item and I like that it is the item that I actually want.

My buddy's family does that. They each give eachother money to spend on themselves a month before christmas, they buy what they want, give it to the person who paid for it, the person wraps it and puts it under the tree for christmas. I'm always jealous when he comes back from shopping on black friday with his christmas gifts.

Sounds thoughtless to me.  Take the money you spend on yourself, and use it to buy presents for the children of the less fortunate.  Your church should be able to provide names of a worthy recipient.

Actually, their family gives a lot to the less fortunate. Very avid church goers and there's an area of their kitchen where they've posted a picture of every child they've sponsored over the years. There's at least 20. His parents even took in the children of family members who weren't doing too well. 5 kids and 3 adults in their small 2 bedroom, 1 story house. My buddy is afraid his parents don't have enough money to retire. Let's not make generalizations now.  ;)

I'm a big fan of the "Wish List" Feature on Amazon. You can add anything you want from BassPro, Cabelas, Gander, whatever. You share the list w/ your wife, sister, mom, whoever and all they do is click and purchase.

When they tell you you're hard to buy for, the wish list makes it very easy.

Hope you all got what you were looking for. ;D

I'm a big fan of the "Wish List" Feature on Amazon. You can add anything you want from BassPro, Cabelas, Gander, whatever. You share the list w/ your wife, sister, mom, whoever and all they do is click and purchase.

When they tell you you're hard to buy for, the wish list makes it very easy.

Hope you all got what you were looking for. ;D

I just say Lucky Craft and will take what I get. I can use it or return it for a different one if I have the one I get. It is about the right amount for the kids to spend and I smile a-lot. They then get to see the photos of the green fat girls I caught on the Christmas present they got me, it has worked great so far.

P.S. OK I will confess -- I tear out the Lucky Craft page from the catalog, circle the ones I want, and leave it by the toilet for the wife to see while she is -- ummmmm---reading. It works -- try it.
