My lovely wife, that is. She asked me the other night, "what was that fishing reel that you've always wanted?" I told her it was an ABU Ambassadeur Record. She said "Go ahead and order one." Yowzah!

Today, the brown truck left a package from Tackle Warehouse. Insied was this beauty!

I'll give it a good workout this weekend, but tonight, mama's goin' out for steaks!

nice you do have a keeper my wife did the same thing a while back she was looking at Revo STX's and was gonna order one till I corrected her and said it was the MGX we were playing with at dicks that I wanted she told me I had to wait longer then lol.

I usually get the "What do you need another fishing reel for?" speech. I try to follow it up wit the "For the same reason you need another purse or pair of shoes" argument but then I remember I can't win.

Nice reel. You throwing swimbaits with it?

Haha, X2.

That reminds me, my wife keeps wanting a good quality pink light action pole and pink tackle bag. No joke.

what is somewhat embarrising is when she outfishes me by choosing lures based on their "cuteness"

I bought my wife a 6' 6" ML St Croix Avid Pearl spinning rod with a Quantum Energy PT10 (because it matched the holographic reel seat) It's not bright pink but I can't lie, I've fished with it myself and man it is really nice! She has a pink tackle box too.

My wife has asked for the same thing she wants to go fishing with me as much as possible. She knows her stuff to she calls her self the fishey wife lol. She has been going threw the stuff iv been buying on ebay picking the "cute" lures and adding them to her pile she told me she better have all the same/more/or better stuff I have. Im thinking bout going with a st. croix avid pearl for her as well idc if she wants matching set ups im not using pink gear and i like my abu's to much to share lol.

I bought my wife one of the cheap "cute" pink combos and it only lasted a year even with the limited use it got from her and it kept tangling and was heavy so she'd get tired of holding it after a little while. That's why I went with the top of the line stuff I could afford to get her. Now her casting and reeling is effortless so she can fish longer and if she fishes longer it means I get to fish longer

I got my girl the pflueger pink rods n reels and she likes them a lot, I wish she would take my cute lures all she ever uses is a t-rig junebug senko and always manages to catch a pile f keepers... Drives me insane

my gf is on a spinnerbait role... the cute purple ones at nite, the cute pink ones in the day... in between she enjoying catchin gills for catfish bat.. which she loves

Pink is also my daughter's favorite color. The casting rod I had made for her as a Christmas gift a couple years ago had to be pink. She has a couple cheap pink spinning combos. I've tried to tell her she could get much better rods and reels if she didn't have to have pink. She doesn't care. Her tackle box is also pink. She fishes Senkos almost exclusively. This is one place where she doesn't insist on pink.

I continue to work on her about going with something besides pink, but can't seem to get anywhere.

EDIT: Sorry man. Forgot to congratulate you on having such a nice wife. Apparently you did good. I have to take my wife out for steak dinners even tho she has never once told me to buy a new reel. Quite the opposite. She tells me I already have too many rods and reels. As if that could be possible!

Nice reel. You throwing swimbaits with it?

Haha, X2.

haha. Yeah, that's one of the things I plan to do with it.
