Are you looking for a Father’s Day gift for the fisherman in your family? Gear is tricky because you know every angler has his special baits and gear combinations. With that in mind, a gift card to his favorite retailers is always a safe and thoughtful present. But if you want to pick out something yourself, we’ve come up with the top five best gifts – gifts that dad will actually use. Remember, the best doesn’t have to mean the flashiest or most expensive.
1.) Sunglasses Our eyes are the most important tool for fishing. The best polarized fishing sunglasses not only protect dad’s eyes from the harsh rays reflecting off the water, but they also work to enhance his game by filtering out certain lighting.
2.) Tech Shirt New moisture-wicking and insect-repellent technologies mean dad can stay cool and actually look cool, too! And SPF sun protection and long sleeves will protect him from the sun’s rays.
3.) Cooler A go-anywhere cooler bag is always a great option, on the water or off. The latest puncture-proof and abrasion-resistant soft side coolers have rugged, leakproof zippers and make great fishing accessories.
4.) Portable Fish Finder This veers over into gear territory, but new options are much less “techy” than they used to be and can be a great addition to his tools. A portable fish finder is an easy way to help dad up his game and there are lots of options for downloadable smartphone applications.
5.) Photo Take that picture on your camera roll (or his camera roll) and get it printed and framed. Too many times we hear of that prize photo that is lost in cyberspace or on a lost phone.
Of course, there’s an endless list of fun personalized options ranging from caps to T-shirts to bottle openers to lures . . . And we’d be remiss if we didn’t suggest you take a look at the Alabama Bass Trail gear! Check out the online store for shirts, hats, patches and more.
