So what did Santa bring you?

Just what the title says....anything and everything related to Rods, Reels, Terminal Tackle, Plastics, what others are using, what works, what doesn't work, and anything else you want to talk about regarding equipment.

Low key for us as usual. No gifts for Birdee and I. Booked to head back to our favorite resort in Cuba on the 13th of Jan.

Alluring, prepossessing and delightfully delicious.
As a general consensus, the Type F has been a crowd pleaser for almost a decade.
With that being said, the Rosso was simply a no brainer.
It is my first Megabass reel, and I must say, it is a magnificent piece of art.

Also, this was a gift from my father and fishing partner, one that I will cherish for quite some time!

(Pics heavy for Norm! ;) )

As stunning and glamorous as it may be, the addition of red RCS knobs, who seem to be identical to the handle side plate, just make it above and beyond.

A slight knob malfunction might be the reason for slow delivery. :?
These are the pics i took this afternoon, pretty sure he'll be going back to the clear cork knobs.
