It's the Time for Giving

Tackle Box

By Gary Miralles, Mack's Lure

During this time of year, I’m puzzled as to what to buy everyone for Christmas. My lovely wife is very fashion minded and loves new clothes; however the only thing I feel secure buying her is sleepwear. A set of silky pajamas with cute puppies on them is fine, as long as they don’t have fish on them. Gift certificates are always a safe bet, but also says “I don’t have a clue on what to buy you and I’m too lazy to figure it out.”

Life would be so easy if everyone fished; that is a subject I know well and could buy for anyone and make them happy. So that is where I’m taking you. What to buy the fisherman in your life for Christmas? I personally am always excited to receive gifts, of any type, related to my favorite sport and passion. But there are so many fishing rods, reels, tackle boxes, dodgers, spinners, lures -- you name it, it’s out there. How do you pick what’s right? If this is your dilemma, I suggest a selection of my favorite items perfect for that angler with everything.

First, start with a small, cheap tackle box you can purchase just about anywhere. This is the container used to house all your goodies. I personally like books or videos to read or watch on those cold rainy days when it’s impossible to go fishing. If I can’t fish, I can at least study it or enjoy watching someone else doing it.

Here are a few of my favorite Christmas wish list items:
