Would you be interested in a running thread where you can post some of the fishing tackle you desire so your better half or kids or parents can come take a look for ideas for presents this holiday season?

I realize we might be playing with fire allowing our significant others to come into this little corner of the Internet :eek5: but if they are looking for some holiday gift inspiration - it might help :)

Whaddya think?

i think its a great idea

GREAT IDEA!!!!

I think my wife wants to buy me some fishing "stuff" but she has no clue as to what is good and what I need so somthing like this may help her not buy apcray (pig latin) from almart-way thinking it is good chit.

"Hey honey, if you were thinking about buying some fishing "stuff" for me as a gift you can go to striped-bass.com and look under the fishing gifts section and you can choose from anything you want for a gift for me. You can even tell anyone who asks what they should get me for a gift to go there as well!"

I like it!!!

Great idea! Only it won't work for me. My wife ( and this is probably why we have lasted as husband and wife so long) looks at going into tackle shops and buying me fishing gear as I do going into a store to buy her feminine hygiene products. It ain't happening. Good for all the other guys though!:D

I'm with Flap . . . and I don't want her to get sticker shock at what some of my "toys" cost :D

my wife just asks me what I want . I order it , pay for it and use it .

If my wife comes out here, she going to see what I do with all my "spare" time and give me more work to do!
:rolleyes:

My wife says I have enough fishing stuff and there is no way she's getting me anymore. Besides she says I'm too picky about it, if I really wanted to catch fish I should just use "those worms".:rolleyes:

I'm not letting my wife on here.

However, all I did was find all the stuff I want at the various e-retailers and send her an email with links to said products.

For example, one of the links was:

http://65.36.161.94/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SRIOTS&Product_Code=PJPP&Category_Code=PJ

know what i'm sayin?

My Wife aint born yet so I dont have to worry about her seeing this site. As for my Girlfriend she just asks me what I want. She has no reason being on this site..........Moose

Good Idea only problem is that you have to give up your password and she can check in periodically.

:D

i'm with moose nuckle:rotf2:

:doh:

no way! I need to keep sb.com and wife separate for as long as possible. In fact... am thinking of adding a double password protection to the site.

i'm also with moose knuckle:D

My girlfriend has seen me on this site but for the sake of all you guys married..I would give a big N-O

NO MA'AM !!!

What happens at Striped-Bass.com needs to stay at Striped-Bsss.com.


No Ma'am!

There is no striped-bass.com

TDF great quote I love Seinfeld I still watch the re-runs every night.

I wanna report this post to a moderator....:hihi:

There is no bass club:laughs:

You are all killing me!!!

I understand that some of you guys are just messin' around but my wife supports my fishing habit. She would love to be able to buy some high quality gear for me and if there was a resource that she could do that without having to ask me she would be very happy as well.

A nice Van Staal would be one hell of a gift!!!

JUST SAY " NO MA'AM "

why would she be like that? its not like you are surfing onto something else, u know?;) oic, she wants you to put your attentions on her. wow, now thats the marriage i know now.

my mother would kill me if she knows what i am planning to get or soemthing. my ex-gf would kill me if she knows i want those expensive fishing equipments. :eek: we are still friends, but damn it, im on her leash sometimes.

fred, u are right, NO MADAM!!!!

Don't do it! Oh the humanity.......This is what I do, get your favorite fishing gear mags and circle any and every thing you could possibly want. You could also bookmark your favorite links that lead to the gear you want and let her go nuts. Here's a secret way too buy the gear she won't let you have. Have a friend make up "fake raffle tickets" for a piece of gear you really want. Hang the tickets on your refrigerator for all to see. Then on the drawing date have said friend call her to tell her you won that beautiful tuna rod! Warning: DESTROY ALL RECIEPTS! Now guys, do you really want to let your hunnies on this site?:rolleyes:
