Your Christmas "Fishing" Wish List?

[Spot77]

I could use a few hundred yards of braid, a nice fillet knife and maybe a few new medium action rods.

Of course gift cards are always good too for those last minute things I need to buy before my big camping and fishing trips.

What are you hoping for, boat or fishing related this year?

What are you hoping to NOT get?

[Skip]

Love to see an HDS 10 under the tree but know Santa's budget is tight so likely be some new heavy duty socks and perhaps a light action rod for Spot catching.

[Blakesdad]

This will work....

[Spot77]

Ah...you need a new surf rod. Didn'tthink you were into surf fishing.

[Southerly]

i'm hoping for a stcroix 6-8mxf with LH revo s. but hell - i'm not picky,...

[Spot77]

Ooohhh......and boat stuff. I can always use Yamalube and Startron. Seems I never have enough at the house when I need it.

I can make your wishes come true for some nice rods, hell I can even build Brian that surf rod that he wants... Just have your wives give me a call. Just trying to drum up some business, things are really slow right now and last year I was scrambling to get all my orders done by Xmas

[Bend-Lure]

Santa got me a nice pair of out-rodders or rod-riggers or what ever they are called. I'd also like to see a pair of new ETEC 200s with controls under the tree.

More time on the water!

Steve is no joke. As most of you know, to call me a jigger would be quite a stretch. HOWEVER; last year I made a couple trips to the Power Plant in early Feb. and I made a couple trips with friends jigging the False Channel. My experience at the Power Plant convinced me I needed at least one nice jigging rod to be able to take with me on jigging trips. Steve built me a 6'2" beautiful rod that I now use for almost everything. It has quickly become my favorite rod. I use it for bottom fishing, livelinning, and jigging. In fact, sometime this summer, I broke the tip and Steve made arrangements to pick up the rod from a friend, replace the tip, and get the rod back to me ASAP. He wouldn't even take compensation for replacing the tip.
Now I'm not saying this to kiss Steve's behind; I'm just commenting in case the wife or girlfriend wants to get you something for Christmas, and she doesn't know what to get. Why not tell her you want a custom rod (I had my initials put on mine). If Steve can not get it done before Christmas, he always has a table at the TriState fishing show where you can pick it up.
Most of my other rods are collecting dust. I'm amazed how versitile the rod is and how comfortable I am with fishing it.
A great present for him, or her.
