My wife loves to go fishing. Didn't have to convience her or trick her into anything. If fact most times it her asking me if I want to go. It's nice going out and enjoying the day together. And you are right in your thinking that it's easier buying tackle etc etc. But there is one problem with that.
Prime example from this year. I wanted to go pick up a new long rod for Salmon/Steelhead and a new pair waders. Well, if I was getting a new rod then of course she wanted a new rod too... I offered my old rod to her as her "new" rod but she's a smart little cookie and didn't go for it... ... poof before you know it I"m walking out the store with 2 new rods and no waders. That's right.. the second rod killed my wader budget. What I"m trying to get at here is having her there means also having to buy twice the gear which isn't always a good thing.
