Skipper D Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 I am not sure what to ask her for but ask for two of every thing ok ..................
Oryx Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Posted November 28, 2012 If I ask for 2, that would imply I would share with her She is of the mindset that 1 rod and reel is good for all scenarios......

JK, My wife is awesome, she will tolerate my addictions better than most. I have friends who need to ask permission to put the seat up on the toilet. Now...Any suggestions for Rod and reel?
Roy Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 A fishing rod as a stocking stuffer? Do you wear pantyhose?
Oryx Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Posted November 28, 2012 Yes, I wear pantyhose, keeps the boys in check! And a coupon book is a good idea, but I will be able to go without too much hassle.....as I said, she is very accepting of my addictions....

Joeytier Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 A 10' Talora dipsy stick should fit snugly in a stocking
Joey Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Paul buys most of our gear, but from the top of my head, I can remember we buy spin doctors from JB's, atomic flies in blue or green, flea flicker line (although some brands are better than others, not sure which tho), cannon balls, salty dog rod holders, Cannon electric or manual downriggers. How's that for a start? I'd have to ask Paul for the names/types of rods and reels we use. Joey

Thanks Guys J in order to help you out, lets begin with: a)does your boat have downriggers and appropriate rod holders already? will you be doing this trolling solo or with others?

Alright here goes, I will be fishing with my buddy in his boat. We currently have 1 x Scotty 1080 manual (bought from OFC classifieds) since only one rigger, the need for a double duty rod. We will be adding 2 x 12" cannon trax this winter to mount the rod holders and the rigger base to. I will need the rods, reels, dipseys, line, flashers and lures. Cheers j
musky_hunter Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 megabass !! megabass !! megabass !! rod, reel, and lures!!
captpierre Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Boy. I would take a gift certificate to LeBaron's any day. Then spend it on one of their "no tax" days. Be like a kid in a candy store

Cheers j Yup that helps,and yes as mentioned above, tell the wife to stuff the stocking with many gift cards from your fave tackle dealer If you dont end up getting a second rigger, and still want to run 4 rods when the 2 of you are out, I would reccomend 1) donwrigger rod/reel that will hold at least 300yds of 20lb mono 2) 2 diver combos 8-9ft med-med hvy, with either 30lb 7 strand wire or 50lb braid, on mid sized linecounter reels (brand as budget allows)and run Size# 107 Walker Deeper Divers off of these 3) one large sized trolling reel with 100 yds or 10 colours of Leadcore line and a 8/9 foot trolling rod. I see your from Pickering, go to Tightines Warehouse and they'll fill in the rest.
aplumma Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Coupons for coffee from your favorite vendor. Gas card from a local station. Warm waterproof gloves. A furry hat that makes you look ridiculous but you don't care because it is sooooo warm. These are just a few of my favorite things. Art

Cheers j There's no such thing as a double-duty rod. Dipsy and rigger rods have wildly different actions, so one of each would be necessary.
Oryx Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Posted November 29, 2012 As I know next to nothing about this, what are the differances between a dispey and a rigger rod?
i2cool2fool Posted November 30, 2012 Report Posted November 30, 2012 Ask her for a coupon book of get out of jail free cards... "This coupon entitles the bearer to one full day of fishing regardless of the length of the grass" Buy the gear yourself...no sense having it if you can't use it. I literally laughed out loud. Great idea.
