Take your time and choose wisely.

As for me I already did my choosing as you know:) .

I do have several WallyWorld gift cards.To bad they don't sell much useful stuff.I wouldn't mind getting another Spheros as a secondary reel for my new Lami but they don't carry'em.Oh well I guess I could always buy several dozen Bombers as that's the only decent plug I've ever seen at the local WallyWorld:rolleyes: .

Santa got me:
a 4lb Lee melter and assorted jig making supplies,
abu BG 7000 HS & a 10' Tica 2pc fast 2/8 oz. rod ,for the Ditch & Surf when the boat can't go out,
a book with assorted fishing stories,
Berkley lipper,
a couple of stickers for the p/u truck,
FIRST AID KIT (a big one) always hurting myself,

I'm very lucky I have a family that puts up with my addiction to fishing and boating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Later LINK SR.:cool:

Nice Santa still takes good care of you Link Sr.:D Nice haul!;)
