hey guys. my 16th b-day is coming up in a couple weeks and i have no idea what to ask for. any ideas? of course its gonna be fishing tackle, since asking mom and dad for a stripper would probably not be good.

If you don't need anything specific, ask them to just get you a gift certificate for BPS or Tacklewarehouse (if they have them). That way, you can wait until you find something you want (or actually need) and just order it?

It's nice to just have some $$$ laying around when those new 'wonder' products come out :P But one thing that I always need that adds up quick is terminal tackle. Tungsten weights and Gammy hooks are expensive when you need to buy several packs of different sizes.

I think if your goal is to go after numbers of largemouth then BPS would be the choice. If your desire is to target trophy largemouth I would go with tacklewarehouse. Big fan of both sites. Great products, great service from both.
