Not all fishing gifts are created equal. While singing bass and fish-themed aprons are cute, they’re not really going to get you on the water more or improve your angling game. Fishing types need to be showered with gear that will have them enjoying the sport even more than they already do.

We’ve put together an extensive list of gift ideas for the fishing fanatic in your life (and if that person is you, here’s to self-gifting). It’s made up of everything from helpful gadgets to wardrobe essentials that will keep you comfortable. There’s no guarantee that these things will increase the number or size of the day’s catch, but there’s a pretty good chance they’ll help the cause. If nothing else, the gifts will be both appreciated and well-used, as they’re useful for all ranks within the fishing crowd.

What’s more, these unique gift ideas transcend fishing itself. Sure, they’re tailor-made for trout hunters and bass slayers, but they also come in handy for all the related outdoors activities. So, pack them along on your next fishing day (or week), but keep them handy as they’ll likely offer standup service during your next camping weekend or day hike too.
