A BETTER ATTITUDE for the CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS....
Dixie and I have been blessed with 3 wonderful daughters. Now all married to great guys, they have 7 children between them. Our favorite 7 grandkids if you will. Kristy is now almost 43, Jennifer is facing the big 4-0, and baby Shannon will soon be 39. Just seems like yesterday they were living at home, going to school, and generally just being kids in the middle of the Midwest. I'm convinced their good behavior and generally agreeable demeanor is a result of Dixie's discipline rather than mine. After all, they were daddy's little girls. I was always there for the hugs and kisses, not the daily discipline. Not my job. My job was that of occasionally coming up with some small piece of wisdom that would make life easier, or perhaps more understandable. I was forced to recall one of these "tidbits" myself just this week. I am not a big Christmas shopping person. It just seems too counter-productive to me, all the rushing around, traffic jams, long checkout lines, surly clerks, and all of the other inconveniences. But, occasionally I am forced to venture out into the wilds of this annual shopping frenzy. And so it was this week. I needed to buy office supplies. My mistake was doing this in the evening after I left the store, which must have signaled every person in our city to join me. Finally getting through bumper-to-bumper traffic I went in the office supply store, got my supplies, and found a checkout lane with no one in front of me. That's when things got "frustrating". My checkout gal just didn't want to be there. She rolled her eyes, sighed, and with all of the energy she could muster began the tedious process of taking my money. I was a little upset and ready to donate a fairly large piece of my mind to this young lady when I remembered one of the "tidbits" I had given our kids years ago. As the kids grew up they, on occasion, would complain about one of their friends or make fun of something someone did. As they got older these complaints or judgments became more troubling to me, although they didn't seem to see any harm. So it was after enduring one longer than normal session of complaints and criticisms that I decided I needed to share some "Daddy" wisdom with the girls. I told them that no other person has the same values or life experiences as each of them do. Even 3 sisters do not agree with each other 100% of the time. These differences are due to one person's point of view or values being different from the others. It's not a question of who is right, but more about respect for different views and tolerance of those who you do not agree with.
Now this was pretty deep philosophical stuff for budding teenagers, but they listed to me and seemed willing to at least think about this idea I had proffered. I can't remember if it actually resolved the issue at the time, but I can assure you from that point forward they were reminded of being tolerant whenever I saw the need. So here I am in at this checkout line disgusted by a barley-more-than-a-teenager's attitude. And then suddenly I remember the tidbit I gave our girls. Before we criticize, before we judge, before we condemn just consider that everyone has different values. Everyone has different life experiences. Everyone has different ideas of what is right and wrong. Not everyone (probably no one) thinks exactly like we do. Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Maybe this gal was tired. Or not feeling well. Or had just had a rude customer. Or who knows what. So I said nothing and departed after offering a big, sympathetic smile. No, it probably won't make them change. Not right then. But, it will sure make this Christmas Season one of the best you've ever had. We're kicking off American Legacy Fishing's Christmas Season with a wonderful offer. Just place an order for $200 or more and we'll give you a FREE American Legacy Fishing Company $50.00 Gift Card. All of the details are below. We also have a brand new fishing hat that I absolutely love. This hat took a long time to develop. We're convinced you will be amazed at how good it fits and feels. We also have some gift suggestions, updates, and other bits and pieces. Enjoy this Christmas season and keep those tidbits in mind! Tight lines, Tom Ashby

The WORLD'S BEST FISHING HAT, and a PANAMA HAT AT THAT (tat, tat, tat, tat, tat).................
The WORLD'S BEST FISHING HAT, and a PANAMA HAT AT THAT (tat, tat, tat, tat, tat).................
Finally the World's Most Comfortable, Cool, Good Looking Fishing Hat ever made. It's designed by Fishermen (that would be us) for Fishermen (that would be you). We have had many opportunities over many years to try and find the "perfect" fishing hat. Up until now we have never been completely happy with what was available for one reason or another. Buckles binding into the back of our head, too hot in the summer, not blocking the sun from our neck, too water absorbent, not that attractive, etc. You name it and we found something we didn't like.
So, we Designed our own hat and had it manufactured to our Specifications. And what Awesome Specifications they are!
The World's Best Fishing Hat starts with authentic toquilla-straw, and is hand woven in Cuecna, Ecuador. This is the home of some of the very best Panama Hat Brands such as Montecristi, Cuecna, and Ultrafino.
Once woven, the process of washing, drying and softening the fibers is started in Ecuador as is the shaping and softened. Then the hand-made shell is shipped to our finishers in the USA where the hat is Finished with all of the Features we think makes this the World's Best Fishing Hat!

Our hat Features Solar Weave sun protection, a Teflon fabric coating, a Cool Max Hat Band, Strawblock SPF98-UPF50 Sun Protection, an "Uncrushable" Insert, and two eyelets for a neck strap (not included).
Finally, we needed to make sure we offered this hat at a price that was fair to everyone. Typically this hat would retail for about $125 - $150 or more. We decided that this hat should be as affordable as possible to as many of our customers as possible. We believe $89.99 represents achieving that goal.
We have our hat in 4 sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large. With the Cool-Max band the range for each size is quite flexible and will typically fit 2 or sometimes 3 hat sizes. Just give us a call if you need help with sizing.
Your World's Best Fishing Hat comes with a 30 day "NO QUESTIONS ASKED" Warranty and return privilege. Simple. Right!
We have these in stock but Supplies are Limited. The sooner you order the less chance of disappointment.
One Heck of a Hat! I LOVE mine!

NEW SHIMANO STRADIC CI4 SPINNING REELS........
Still backordered by Shimano. I mean, not much else to say here. Every time they come in they go out almost the same day. If you would like one or more of these just drop us a note at sales@gloomis.us and we'll make sure you get what you want. Basically Shimano underestimated the popularity of the remarkable reel and just hasn't been able to get inventory caught up with demand. Just like us, when they come in to Shimano's warehouses they immediately go out. Just drop us a note and we'll make sure you get what you need whenever we receive a shipment.
