When we put together our fishing events there is alot of times that we have down time before and after the fishing main event. We have seen a need for there to be fishing gear for these soldiers to be able to use during these times. We have all levels of experience in our groups and the more experienced fisherman bring their own tackle, but the less fortunate ones don't have any. These are the soldiers that came to the event to learn a new hobby or because their friend said it would be fun.

If you are at Wal Mart and happen to be in the fishing section and see the Zebco 404 or the Zebco series on sale, could you find it in your heart to pick an extra one up and send it our direction? This could be the difference between a good experience and a great experience. They are simple to use and do not require a whole lot of coaching.

Kid fishing poles are also needed as we are starting to increase the number of trips where children will be joining their moms/dads on these trips.

We are also in need of terminal tackle.
