He recently is obsessed with fishing and even though he has about 5 rods, he just got a new rod and reel (he got a really good deal too) that he is so excited about. I already got him a new tackle box for our anniversary and I feel like he has everything he needs but he says he wants more fishing stuff. He has a lot of the colored bait (sorry, don't know the correct term ;), lures, etc. So in my mind he's good and I don't know what else to get him for Fathers Day, I don't know much about fishing. Any sugggestions from you fishermen? My husband is a big outdoors man like you all.

I am excited to get my new gear. I think the Hunter's Wife is right, you can never go wrong with worms! Thanks for all of the feedback! I am excited to get my new gear.

We only used one tackle box and never used any lures. We use live worms. Thats it and caught a ton of fish. As for rod and reels - I'll leave that up to the expert fishermen around here.

I use Blue Fox spinners for just about anything...from trout and steelhead to bass, crappie, and bluegill. I use a Shakespeare Ugly Stick for everything, as well. I just have too much fun on it to justify a switch to a heavier rod. Except steelies - I don't catch steelies on my Ugly Stick! Not sure what my steelhead rod is, but it's a Shakespeare of some kind.

I have always had a desire to fly fish, but have never done it. This year will be the year I attempt to learn. I am also going to look into the lures you suggested, there are so many in the stores that I get overwhelmed and can never decide. It is nice to have some suggestions to guide me as I look. It is always fun buying new gear! That definitely helped, I am going to look into the St. Croix rod for flyfishing. I have always had a desire to fly fish, but have never done it.

I personally use a Shimano open face reel. I could never get used to the baitcasters, although I will admit that if you use them correctly they will outcast any open face reel out there. As far as lures I have a few bass favorites. One is a Rat-L-Trap, another is the topwater Jitterbug, a top water spook, and also who can look past a good ole spinner bait. Flyfishing is a blast as well. I have a St. Croix rod that was pretty inexpensive and has served me well. Have fun buying the new gear. Hopefully I helped somewhat.
