What tackle are you getting for Father’s Day?

[fish4942]

So apparently my son has been discussing what to get Dad for Father’s Day (FD) with his Mom. He’s been bugging me to get a longer net so he and his little brother can try and scoop up little bluegills and frog hanging around the banks. Now he keeps telling me to tell the wife not to get me a net for FD. I’m like “wait, I never asked for a net for FD. You wanted the net, not me”. So the wife has been asking me quite frequently what I want. Of course, as I’m sure most you do, I start thinking about Bass Pro Shop, Cabelas, Dick’s Sporting Goods, you know, fishing tackle retailers.

I figure I won’t try and disrupt the budget…too much. Maybe spend around $100.00. I definitely want a new reel / rod combo. I’ve been eyeing the Quantum Code Combo. Dicks has it for $120.00. But I’ve also been thinking about jumping into the world of Shimano spinning reels. I’m sure I can find a combo for around the same as the Code price range. So give me a suggestion or two and tell me what you’re thinking about getting for FD.

My current main tackle:

Baitcaster Reel: Abu Garcia, Suffix Braid- 20lb test

Spinning Reel: Pflueger President 6735, Suffix Braid- 20lb test
