Yeah for the most part dudes always get the short end at Christmas time. Go visiting and the women always get gifts and the guys get squat. I always end up getting a couple hundred dollars in gift cards to Gander but Gander sells all the good ice stuff before Christmas so when I get the cards they don't have squat that I want. I need to start hinting that I rather have Bass pro so I can atleast order stuff. But my 17 year old son hooked me up good this year with some great ice gear. Enjoy your new stuff !!!!
