Just curious........
What fishing related items are you asking/hoping for this holiday season?????
Most of my list is fishing related items...reel, reel covers, rod covers, waterproof socks for my wading boots, landing gift certificates, etc
Gee almost Xmas again, the older we get the quicker the years go around, cheers Don.
One thing on my list... an Avet HXJ 2 speed Raptor reel. To mount on my 9' Phenix Black Diamond Jigstick...
I'll probably have to buy it for myself. Santa don't like me much...
Cool
A 53 foot Viking Sportfish with tuna tower, fighting chair, a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time.
Just want my health back so I can even go fishing.
X2 on the sportfisher! ;D ;D

George,
I hope the Fat Man gives you what you want.
Myself, I am a part time fisherman Because i have to work a lot.
I savor every moment and only wish you the best.
For Me, I want a 2019 Crew Cab Silverado to drive me to the fishing grounds in style. ;)
I have all the fishing gear I will ever need. I just need to transport it.
10 days on the beach in Baja is all I'm asking for. I have plenty of gear, just need the escape to use it!
Father Christmas came early this year and Orvis 8'6" 4wt fly rod. Not used it yet waiting for the new reel to go with it ;D
George, here's hoping you get up and running!
Hmmmm, what do I want....when Santa finishes up his ten days in Baha, a couple of green and blue Cortez Conversions in 501 and 99 widths, same colors in 9/0 plates ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Ill take sets of 9/0 cortez plates in red and black and be very very happy alas Santa doesnt read alantani.
I was thinking about a WorkSharp knife sharpener.
But I do not know which one is best, since they make a few models.
Best,
Fred
I was thinking about this little guy, but not sure yet:

Not top of the line stuff, but I think it will do me just fine for my needs...
Sal
And yes, it is fishing related, it would make parts for catching fish :)
sure he does...look back three posts :)
A new milling machine................................Joe
Hey Sal: Look at this. https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=5500 or this https://www.precisionmatthews.com/shop/pm-30mv/
You can do a lot more with either of them and at a reasonable price. I'm thinking of a larger model but I'm nuts.........................Joe

Fred: I use a Arkansas stone & India 8000/9000 to finish. I also use the India stone for my straight razor, and Strop. Joe
Well as long as we're dreaming I'll take one of Bullseye's Finor cradles with rod and a custom knob made by Sal so I could use them on one of Gary's trips for a nice large halibut. Think I'll probably end up with coal.

George, I thought I wrote this but somehow didn't show up earlier.
I share your wish as well and I hope It does come through so you could go fishing.
Maybe we could do it together one day.
Sal

I have limited space Joe, I would need two.
The one I'm showing has both and it should do just fine for what I intend to use it for, but I thank you for your suggestion.
Sal; i can understand, I have a shop in my cellar that is 1100 sq feet, Soon as I install a bathroom there I am going to move my eqiptment down there. As is I have a tone of eqiptment down there from when I did gun work.........................Joe
Sal a good condition Maximat lathe milling machine would also fit your needs.
...I'm hoping his "reel" name is ADAM and my stocking will be stuffed with offset handles and drag insert kits!

Christmas came late for me ... and I had to buy it myself but... A new Avet HXJ 5/2 MC Raptor. Picked it at the sport show . $363.71 out the door, plus if I take it to Turners I get 300 yards of free 80 lb braid spooled on it... The reel will go on my new 9' Phoenix Black Diamond 909XHJ 30-80 rod.
Cool

Thanks, Cool, well you know who to call now for some love for your Raptor.
He did an outstanding job getting everything to come together for me! Darin
Dannnnng that's a good looking combination.
My belated self-Santa delivery looks like it's going to be a Shimano Stella ;D
Looking good Darin.
I have a few Christmas gifts I need to assemble ::)
One started winking at me today and whispering something about Salmon 2019 season.
