If you’re looking for a gift for the fisherman who has everything, I guarantee you that this post will have you hot on the trail of the ultimate gift. Webb’s final auction for 2010 features the most amazing collection of freshwater and saltwater fishing gear I’ve ever seen in a single place. With more than 300 items of pre-1940 vintage rods, reels, and lures. This is an auction so be prepare to spend big for the best items, online bidding is available.
This is a Quantum Tour Edition PT Baitcaster, with the 11 bearings and “Burner” 7.0:1 gear ratio (thats 28.8 inches of retrieve per crank!), paired with a 6′ 10″ Quantum Tour heavy action rod.
I bought this setup in 2004 when it was clear that Clive and I were getting in to some big pike and musky. These fish called for something with more backbone and power than your typical bass spinning gear.
The Pete Maina Signature Series, built by Bass Pro Shops, is a high quality set of Musky rods and reels. The reel (PMX3000MH) is extremely well built, and to me, feels just like the higher priced Shimano counterparts. The rod (PMX66MHT) is also very well built and comes with a weight system for achieving the perfect balance
The boys over at TackleTour have really outdone themselves with their gift guide this year – have a look for yourself!
Ah Barbie, is there anything she can’t do? The good folks at Matel may not have built the most proportioned fishing rod on the market (or most proportioned doll for that matter) but it is a quality rod that has caught its fair share of big fish. We saw the Barbie rod and reel catch a monster black drum earlier this year, and now the fashion conscious rod has caught a record 21 pound channel catfish!
