Great gift for "boys" bass fishing trip in Canada?

My boyfriend, who is 28, is going on his annual boys bass fishing trip in Canada with his two best friends and I wanted to make a little basket of goodies for him for the trip. I'm already playing Susie Homemaker and made Rice Krispie treats (yeah, his favorite) for the ride, but I wanted to get him some fishing stuff. I was thinking baits/lures, etc. He has a 17" bass boat which they'll be on. My only real hang-up is I don't know much about the fishing in Canada where he'll be, but they're big bass fishermen, however, I know he's also caught Northern Pike and such up there. I think he's going to Eagle Lake, btw. I'm going for kick-a** gf of the year here. Ideas would be greatly appreciated!
--------------------
I live in Duluth Mn and have fished in Canada frequently. If your boyfriend is a hardcore Bass guy he will probably be targeting Smallmouth on this trip. They may also decide to go for some Walleye, (Walleye make a good shore-lunch for a hungry fisherman). Here are some ideas for lures and gifts that will work (or be needed) on their trip: 1. A nice Leatherman Multi-tool- Skip the basket and get him something he will have a long time! A multi-tool is a "booyah" gift for a boyfriend and highly functional- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores… 2. Yamamoto, 5" Senko in "Smoke" color- 6-8 bags of these will come in REAL handy for a Smallmouth Bass trip in Canada- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores… 3. Strike King, 3/16 OZ Spinnerbait, in "Bleeding White" color- 6-8 of these would be excellent for that "reaction strike" bite- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores… 4. Heddon, Super Spook Jr, in "Okie Shad" color- Best Topwater of all time, (but with improvements!)- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores… 5. Mepps, Black Fury 1/2 OZ in Yellow Dot color- Inline Spinners catch everything in Canada. Make sure to get 5-6 of these- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores… You get him all of these and he'll sh*t his pants! (lol) Hope this helps? (Make sure to read the reviews of the products I suggested!) Good luck! PS- If making a basket make sure to include some good (deet) Mosquito repellent, a variety of flavors of potted mini-hotdogs, and some beef jerky.........(wink)!
