More Father's Day Deals!

I just got off the phone with Sage, who let me know that they will be upgrading the Z-Axis "Single Hand" Series of rods for the upcoming season (2012 - yes, the tackle year rolls over waaay too early!). What that means is that for any Z-Axis that is not a Spey rod or Switch
rod, you can save 30% off the regular price if you say you saw it in the Email Newsletter! Do not wait - with a discount like that, you can be sure that people will be rushing down right now. (Sorry - no lay aways on these items - no "holds" either. Stock limited to rods on hand
and do not include Z-Axis Switch or Spey series rods.)

If you are more interested in conventional tackle, all Penn Spinfisher Series spinning reels are 20% off. These are geared towards saltwater applications, and have long been the standard by
which saltwater spinning reels are judged - strong drag, anodized spool and quality hardware.
Choose from the 550, 650, 750, 850 or 950 models - again - limited to stock on hand!

It's always great when the gift you give gets used every day. We all love the various styles
and engraving on the M-Clip money clips - trout patterns, fish engraving and a bunch of other features. You have to see this item to believe it - they took a look at your grandfather's money clip and said, "hey, let's do this RIGHT!" and came up with a tenacious spring, slide-out handles for better leverage and the artistic anodization. This is a very popular item, but it's one of those things that we realized we were overstocked on when we incorporated the Santa Rosa store inventory - our overstock is your savings - for an extremely limited time, you can get any model in stock for 50% OFF!

Great Gift Idea - Redington Minnow Starter Fly Outfit

We see a lot of so-called "kid's" outfits, and most of them are reasonably toy-like. Which is OK when you're talking about spincast outfits, where the rod doesn't really have to do too much. But, in flyfishing, the rod is such a key ingredient in the process of learning to cast, if the starter fly rod isn't of good quality, it just makes it harder than it needs to be.

We were blown away by the quality of the Redington Minnow outfit - the rod has been carefully designed to work well with a younger angler - whose strength might not be enough to use a full-sized rod. This outfit balances well, most importantly casts well, and includes what is most definitely a real fly fishing rod.

Just in time for the holidays, we're making this outfit even more enjoyable by taking $40 off the regular price. You can get this setup for only $119.99! Hurry - we're already starting to run out!

Great Gift Idea - Filson Socks

"Oh sure..." you may say. "Socks for Christmas!?"

"Not just socks..." we would reply. "Filson socks"

This year, the early buyers far outstripped our ability to get replacement socks, but the fine folks from UPS just brought our fill-in shipment, so we're suddenly back in stock on this vital holiday item. We had gotten a little worried back when Filson had told us they were reworking their classic sock, but they have kept them comfortable with wonderful Merino wool, mixing them with just enough nylon to let them wash easily and keep their shape.

These keep you comfortable, warm and dry, fit great and do a simple job well for a long time. Don't worry, we won't tell if you pick up a pair for yourself as well...

Note - if you are reading this on Saturday morning over your cup of coffee, and want to pick up a few pair in the Santa Rosa, you may want to wait until noon or so. They had only arrived in San Rafael, so we're making a special delivery run up there later today.
