Well, this might not exactly match the question, as it wasn't my gift, but a gift I built for a friend from church. He's been needing a light stream rod, so I built him an 8' 3wt 2pc on a Powell Legacy blank. Turned out quite nicely, and he had the proverbial ear-to-ear grin on Christmas morning. So now he's in the market for a matching reel and spare spool.
I'm bidding on a new pontoon boat on e-bay right now, so that will (hopefully) be MY new Christmas toy...
