Charge Tti
Which is a better birthday gift? Men answer, please.?
He's told me at different times throughout the year that he really wants both of these things. He's turning 28, btw, and is very outdoorsy, so both would be used/appropriate.

Or
A fire pit for the backyard? A nice copper one that won't rust - he loves fireplaces/campfires, and our new house has no fireplace.

He gets me, anyway. 
This is just the present-present.
I can't buy both, because both are rather expensive.
I think you would get more uses out of the fireplace somewhere to spend time together and just a nice addition to the house but it is his BD and a leatherman is a very handy tool so maybe getting him something he personally would use is more important. Just go buy the firepit for the house for both of you to enjoy why make it a gift.

Knive Set
Cake Decorating supply suggestions. Can you give some advice please?
I'd like to think I know my way around a cake. Ive always purchased the cheap 6 dollar cake decorating tip set from wal mart, grocery stores, dollar stores etc. I want to upgrade a bit, when it comes to my cake decorations. I'm interested in purchasing the Wilton 101 piece set.

Im not sure if thats all I'll need, or if Im gonna want to buy (or need) more tips. I also want to know if it's even worth buying, will I NEED everything in it? Will I need more items? Im used to leveling the cake with a plain o butcher knive, and its always came out fine, Im also used to just having about 4-6 tips to decorate with. I want to step it up a notch, but just want to know if its actually worth it or not. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks In advance =)
I purchased a smaller set of tips many years ago from Wilton and found I basically use maybe 4-6 tips to decorate. I don't think you need all those tips. You can sure do a lot with a few tips.
Hope that helps.

Leatherman Juice
Why do people pay so much on ebay....?
for something that retails for a lot less. I saw a Leatherman "Juice" pocket knife for about $72. I saw it @ Sports Authority for about $45. i just couldn't find the color i wanted. is the near $30 difference worth winning an auction?
also, does anyone know where i can get it in red or orange in MA @ the smarter retail price or less? i checked just about every authorized Leatherman dealer there is. and didn't find it on CL
check Amazon for the item / color you want.
People sometimes pay more on Ebay because they are under the impression they are getting a deal and because they fail to do their comparative research elsewhere on the web or in local brick & mortar stores.

Jigged Handle
What is a good saltwater rod for offshore fishing in Dana Point California?
What is a good saltwater rod to setup with a baitcasting reel. I plan on doing some charter boat fishing. I want a rod thats affordable but thick and strong and sturdy. Id like the closest thing to an all purpose saltwater rod that can handle calico bass to yellowfin tuna, live baitin and iron jigging. Able to hold heavy 12 plus oz. lures for deep waters. I think you get the picture by now. Any recommendations will help.
My favorite is the Calstar WCDH-270-C (actually, mine is custom wrapped, but it's essentially the same as the Calstar factory rod.) I use it with 20 pound test on a Daiwa SL30SH reel, and have fished with it from Ventura county down to Alijos Rocks, caught everything from bass and halibut to tuna and wahoo to one unfortunate marlin on it. In general, it's best for 5 to 30 pound fish, which is about as close to all-purpose as you can do for So.Cal. fishing.
To be realistic, it's a bit light for fish over 30 pounds, and in deep water I don't use more than 8 ounce jigs on it. (4 ounces or so is the maximum casting weight.) For that kind of stuff, I'd recommend a second outfit, like the 870-C or 970-C -- heavier action, and a foot shorter, and 30 pound line. Use that one for yoyo jigging for local yellowtail, and so on.
You can get away with one outfit most of the time, but you don't want to be out of luck when something breaks, or undergunned when the offshore trip for 10 pound yellowtail finds a wide open spot of 40 pound bluefin. So start with the 20-pound rig, and as soon as you can afford it, add a 30-pound outfit.
