Check out the following items and get more information by clicking on the picture. All of these items are well proven and no fisherman would disappointed in receiving this as a gift. Getting the right fishing gift for someone can be a challenge however these following items are proven winners.
1. Shimano Reels and more specifically a Shimano Curado. This reel ranges between $150 and $160 for the normal sizes that are perfect for bass fisherman. The size 300 does come in at $260 however the 50 and the 200′s are perfect for bass fishing techniques. If you are unfamiliar with Shimano and the Shimano Curado reel it is one of the most well known bass fishing reels on the market. Each year Shimano does a few little adjustments to continue to improve the Curado line of reels however I persoanlly am still fishing with every Curado I have bought over the last 8 years or so. They are work horses and will give the owner hundreds of hours of fishing before needing some minor reel cleaning and maintenance. A Shimano Curado is by far one of the best gifts someone could give a bass fisherman.
2. St. Croix Avid Series Trigger Rods is a full line of bass fishing rods that range between $170 and $230. There is a specific rod designed for every technique that one may want to deploy when fishing for the green and brown bass. The lightest rod listed is a six foot medium fast action rod that is rated for 10 – 17 lbs test line and 1/4 oz to 5/8oz in lure weight and the largest rod being a 7’10″ Heavy Medium Fast action rod rated for 14-30lbs test line and lures from 1/2oz up to 2 ozs. There is 13 different rod lengths and actions listed on the Bass Pro Shop website so pick the right rod based on the persons size and style of fishing that they like to do. If they are into finesse worm fishing go with the smaller sized rods or if they like to flip jigs in heavy cover go with a bigger rod. But if they like to fish for bass a 7 foot medium heavy rod is always a winner, it can be used for spinner baits, and lots of plastic lures. It is a common rod size that most anglers are comfortable with and will certainly openly add to their fishing rod collection.
3. Sunglasses – Costa – They are Superior Fishing Glasses
The Costa man of war glasses are $190 and are pure bliss to wear when out on the water. With removable side shields these glasses give the additional protection bass fisherman need when traveling at high speeds in a boat to avoid dust and other debri in the air from flying in the eyes. These shields also assist with reducing glare and keeping constant contact with fish underwater when they are on a bed. Check out more details through the picture in order to see all of the specs on these amazing sunglasses by Costa.
