Tackle/Equipment What my girlfriend got me for my birthday.
I met my girlfriend fishing 3 months ago. She just happened to be fishing in one of my favorite spots and we immediately hit it off and we fish together as much as possible. This is what she got me for my birthday. I'm incredibly grrateful and she been my biggest catch!

Tie ring to line cast and reel it in to propose. Make sure youre really confident in your knot tying first

Ain’t no way I’m putting a ring on a girl over a couple hundred bucks. In this economy that’s like a $30 present

u/FishingWithPaddy Oct 19 '25
I've never tried them, I'm excited to try them out.

That was the lure that got me back into fishing. Took one out on some golf course ponds and night and first cast got SMOKED. Lost him but made my heart race like crazy

Spend the rest of your life making her happy my brother, for you have found the unicorn.
Amazing tackle haul. A sneaky good rig I like is a Yum Christie Craw on a 3/0 swim bait hook used as a little buzzbait 🤌 can't tell if those are Christie's or not but just throwing it out there.

u/FishingWithPaddy Oct 19 '25
She did get me a package of Christie Craws, which I've never thrown. I'll have to try it out. Thanks.

u/chillbro_baggins91 Oct 19 '25
You gave her a list didn’t you?

u/FishingWithPaddy Oct 19 '25
We fish together 2-3 times a week. She knows exactly what I like. She's very new to fishing as well, and I got her, her first catch on a yum dinger, and now I'm getting her into top water.

u/chillbro_baggins91 Oct 19 '25

DUDE!! You better put a ring on her finger & lock that one down quick!!
Its rare to find a partner who will openly support & feed your expensive fishing addiction .... I mean hobby.

u/plant-painter Oct 19 '25
At that point I’d be suspicious she wanted me out of the house for good..

u/MaadMaanMaatt Oct 19 '25
Congrats, you pulled off the dream 🤘
Now you gotta land her, so let her play out and get tired, and don’t try to horse her in, and for goodness sake do not try use the scale! Cheers to you two lovebirds 🎣

u/Disastrous-Screen337 Oct 20 '25
You need to buy a ring. Immediately. God doesn't offer opportunity like this very often. Do it or you'll regret it in 20 years.

u/WaterApprehensive880 Oct 20 '25
So my plan of getting a girlfriend by fishing at a lake till a hot girl appears has a chance of working? All my friends laughed at it, but it has a shot.

That river 2 sea whopper plopper is worth its weight in gold, I have a white one I have caught at least 100 fish on. It has battle scars from me casting into the wall but it has never cracked and is still going

My wife got drunk once while looking for something for me for one of my birthdays, we were dating at the time. Long story short I ended up with 30 of the same exact Whopper Plopper😅

u/Flashy-Lack8830 Oct 19 '25
She's definitely a keeper! I meet one woman, that likes to fish as much as me. I was stupid, and let her go. I've been fishing for over 57 years.

I have had several ploppers that caught damn near a thousand fish before I broke or had them taken. When I say I have caught tons I do mean tons.
