If We Each Have Our Own Heavens…Mine Is Definately Cabelas…
Posted by the fisherbabe, under Gear Reviews, fisherbabeOr maybe the shoe department at Nordstroms…Or maybe…a combo store that sells Orange Hammers AND Manolo Blahniks…YES…Oh YES!!!
Anyways…back to reality…I cannot believe that our trip is over…sigh…I am so sad!! Right now, I am staring at my tackle box to see what needs to be replaced. I used so many hammers over the week and now FOUR…yes FOUR…no longer have paint or not much paint anyways!! I also lost 2 very good orange and chartreuse colored red-eyes (one that I CUSTOM painted) when my crummy steel leaders broke. So my list as of now contains:
1. More Hammers
2. Generic colored (orange and chartreuse) red eyes
3. Better steel leaders…the ones that actually lock in and not just around…stupid leaders lost me a big fish 
4. More Hammers
5. LINE (2o lb test because I ran out and 10 lb test in case I talk ANYBODY into fishing with me around here soon)
6. Silver colored red-eyes (so that I may once again painstakingly custom paint a FABULOUS lure…I mean…if I were fish I would totally wanna eat my hand made lures)
7. More Hammers
8. Another Shimano Cardiff 200A (ok…this one is wishful thinking but I am hoping that SOMEBODY will take the hint for my BIRTHDAY or ANNIVERSARY that is soon approaching!!)
9. A Pink 5′6 Pistol Grip Ugly Stick that does not collapse into 2 peices (oh wait…I CANNOT BUY THIS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST…dammit)
10. More Hammers
As you all can see, my list contains some very important things as well as some things that will remain on the list for a while. I looked for the pink ugly stick forever before I realized it does not exist. Perhaps someday in the near future Shakespeare will realize that I catch fish as large as my husband and that yes…I do like pink…but I still want gear that is equal to or better than that of the men.
Ok moving on…so I am picking these things up at a Cabela’s near me soon. I love Cabelas…walking in and smelling the fishing line and lures and tackle takes me to my happy place…
I will be posting some more photos of my trip as soon as I can get a collage together…probably tonight!!! Check back soon to see them and have a great day!!!
Happy Shopping~

Lizzie – love the post-trip assessment. One hint for the list – buy Terminator Titanium leaders. they are NOT cheap, but if you would have tied one on the first day of your trip, you never would have had to change it, and you would never know it had been used. They're indestructable. Get one heavier than you usually use – the titanium is thin anyway, and the cross-lok on the heavier ones is bigger and better,
Hey thanks for the tip…I am definately going to check them out!! I was very frustrated with my leaders this last trip!!
Thanks again!!
