   How about a microfiber fishing shirt? They have got built in UPF protection, so they’re great for a full day of fishing. I think it’s a much better idea to buy him something like this instead of an expensive piece of gear which he might not want or already own.

   I agree – I wouldn’t buy tackle unless I knew exactly what to get. As a fisherman, I don’t really want people picking stuff out for me, because it’s usually not right and just a waste of money.

   Get a Boga Grip – it’s that tool that helps you handle toothy fish without getting too close. Can be quite pricy but I love mine!

   Think outside the box – does he travel to fish? Does he camp while fishing? Does he fish all year round? Perhaps a parka or thermal underwear for winter fishing. Or camping gear: a tent, sleeping bag, cooler etc.

   If you’re willing to spend the money, how about a fish-finding gadget? A depth finder or fish finder makes a great gift.

   Multi-pliers or some other kind of multi-tool might be a good gift, unless he’s already got a pair that he swears by. Even then, a spare pair might go over well.

   Gift certificates for his favorite sporting goods outlet are a decent idea, too. Or just Cabela’s. Even if he doesn’t buy stuff from it now, he’ll be sure to find something that he’ll want.

   What about a rod organizer? You get great ones made out of stainless steel that hold your rods, plyers and other tools.
