any rapala lures are good and will work.

some specific lures are

jointed shad rap

original floater

any DT's

some must haves for me are:

lunker city ozmo

yum dingers

river2sea v-joint min wake

rapalas

mattlures minnows

bandit footloose

and as always: GIFT CARDS!!!!

Just ask for a gift card because most non fishermen/woman will end up getting you the wrong baits.

I only asked for one bait. She got me this one.

I tried that, she asked how much.  250... akward pause.... the "Are you crazy" look.... then walked away.

I gave my gf a list:

-Huddleston ROF 5 or 12 in Trout.  Any questions ask 4biz

-Norman DD22 in Shad - Any question ask 4biz

-M.S. Slammer 9 in. Dark Trout.  Any questions ask 4biz

-Eakins Jigs any size and color (Except for ones you think are "PRETTY")  Any questions ask 4biz

It helps having a friend that knows stuff.

yeah unless talking to your girlfriend drives your buddy crazy ;D

I'll be getting all this stuff with cash that I receive for Christmas.

Most of it has to be bought online.

Gift cards from Cabelas and BPS.

Do not underestimate the shopping ability of women. My ex girlfriend last christmas was absolutly amazing we set our limit at $300 I told her to just get me all fishing lures and she got me like 7 luckycrafts, a bunch of bagelys, dt's ,Tons of fat ikas ,creatures and senkos, some T-1s, hula poppers, jitterbugs, A big 4 star tube kit, gama worm hooks in 3/0 and 4/0, a bunch of terminater,stone, and strike king jigs, 1000 yard spools of yo zuri hybrid, a few diawa cranks etc. Ill admit it wasnt just luck id been training her all summer on fishing stuff but dont be scared to ask for confusing stuff some girls can come through beleive me its a risk worth taking.

Gander Mountain or BPS gift card!

Seriously!  You will end up with 'not-exactly-what-you-wanted' and she will feel bad if you take them back to exchange them.  Some people think gift cards are not well thought out gifts.  Me, on the other hand, see it as the exact opposite.  You are being considerate enough to tell the person to get what they want instead of what you want them to have.  

I'm the 'King of Christmas' with my Dad's side of the family, because I always give gift cards.  It's better to give a well thought out gift card than to give them something like socks, or something they will never use or  they already have 3 of.  

I'm one of the fortunate ones to have a wife that knows what to look for in baits.  She is an avid fisherman and learner herself, so I have nothing to worry about.    Although, most women are the total opposite.
