Welcome to the board Jojo.

First off... She's a keeper. You are a blessed man. Congrats.

I use no swivels on a chunking rig. I just tie on a circle hook to my wind-on and have at chunking.

Cedar plugs are great trolling baits. However the Big E usually moves so fast that you'll not be able to use a trolling plug.

You rod and reel is adequate for casting topwater lures like Tuna Hunters and Frenzy Ballistic flying fish. It is not what I would reccomend for chunking to tuna.

Man o man,

I wished my wife would buy me fishing stuff. Instead, I have to hide all my purchases and not tell her about them or what they cost!

You can better treat her right and keep her happy!

Why don't you buy her fishing stuff for her birthday present and borrow them from her.

I have been doing this for years.

Ksong, that only goes so far. I once bought my wife a .300 Weatherby rifle with a Zeiss scope for Christmas. That went OK until she shot it two days later. It gave her a scope eye. (Black eye). Way to powerful of a gun for a woman. I needed it for an elk hunt.

Once for her birthday I bought her a tiagra 80W with a nice full roller tuna stick. Once again, it went over OK, but she was not thrilled. Another time I bought her a new color garmin GPS with maps. She wanted me to install it in her car so she could find her way around in strange areas. It ended up on the boat.

She got me back a few years ago when she bought me a fur coat. I couldn't even get my arm in the sleeve. She had a big smile on her face and said "I'll take it". I no longer play those games of buying for myself and giving it to the wife. That fur cost more than a new outboard.
