Christmas is coming soon-believe it or not. Due to our current shipping issues, some products may be difficult to buy, but these suggested items should arrive on time. 

Here are my choices for this year’s list:  

The product was named after me to commemorate my long outdoor writing career and was selected into the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame. I discovered in the 1960s that Al goldfish have amazing sparkles and distortions in the water because of their unique design and gorgeous plating. People actually use these beautiful baits to make earrings. 

I chose these versions, which have attracted all imaginable fish, including the saltwater version. However, my favorite is the old-fashioned gold-plated goldfish and the silver blue 49'r Spoons. www.alsgoldfish.com. 

This book by Kathleen Stallings is about my old friend TJ Stallings, who works for Roadrunner Lures. 

His wife, Kathy, stated the reason she wrote the book: "How do you say I love you to someone who can’t hear these words? How do you express gratitude or gratitude to them for what they have done for you Well, you really can't do it after they are gone. I decided that I can at least write my memory of an amazing person in a book." Available through Amazon.com.
