It happens every year. Most of us have a good friend or family member that loves to fish. Each year we pick our brain and try to come up with something they do not already have. For anglers that have been fishing for decades, sometimes this can be quite a task. While buying something they dont already have is nice, many times buying something they are already using can be very useful. This is especially true when it comes to lures and terminal tackle, like hooks, line, etc.
Anyone that fishes on a regular basis can always use more of the basics. This time of year, soft plastic grubs are very popular and plenty are lost on shell banks and dock pilings, while others are destroyed by hungry fish. Other popular items that tend to wear out over time are fishing clothes, pliers, filet knifes, fishing line and multi-tools.
If you are dead set on getting them something that they do not already have, there are a few areas where technology is always changing and you may be able to get them the new improved model. Some of these items include fishing rods, reels, electronics and coolers. Some of these items are very specific so it is best to make sure you know what models they are looking at or make sure what you are buying can be returned without a headache. Other ideas that can be easy and are sure to make any angler happy are magazine subscriptions and gift certificates to local tackle shops.
