Father's Day is just around the corner and if you're shopping for the bass-fishing dad in your life, we've got you covered. To help you get started, the staff of BassFan put together this Father’s Day gift guide.
Line is the connection between you and the fish, and Seaguar's offerings include an especially tough fluorocarbon. Seaguar AbrazX is designed to withstand the abuse of fishing around heavy cover. It's also a great line for the first-time fluorocarbon user as it's much stronger than many of the softer lines in its category. (MSRP: $18.99) Two facts of life are that accidents happen and mechanical things break, and tournament bass anglers are particularly susceptible because they spend so much time towing and driving boats. With BoatUS Angler's on-the-road and on-the-water towing services, you’ll feel comfortable knowing your loved one will be okay in the event of a mishap. As an added bonus, they can win some extra cash in sanctioned tournaments with the company's "Weigh to Win" program. (MSRP: $81) This bait has been in high demand since it was introduced at the Bassmaster Classic in February. What makes it unique is its unique side-to-side hunting action that mimics the way an actual baitfish moves through the water. The patent-pending lure features a traditional Rapala body shape, plus an innovative, curved Scatter Lip that creates the most evasive, erratic, aggressive sweeping action ever seen. (MSRP: $8.29) It looks like the umbrella rig is here to stay, and the Bait Ball Extreme brings new meaning to the phrase “the more, the merrier” with three- to seven-arm setup carrying up to 16 baits. Do more baits equal more fish? In some situations, it seems that they do. (MSRP: $18.99) If you enjoy the hands-free convenience of occasionally operating a small flashlight from your mouth but don't like the feel of metal against your teeth, the LightStar 80 from TerraLUX is the solution on both fronts. Teeth sink right into the ingenious "BiteGrip" and the whole unit weighs only 2.4 ounces with two AAA batteries installed. It’s a great help when making final pre-dawn preparations on tournament day. (MSRP: $29.99) The latest member of Mike McClelland's signature series of jerkbaits, the McStick 115 works the top 4 feet of the water column with the same erratic, suspending action as its depth-seeking little brothers, the 110 and 95 models. McClelland designed the bait, which measures 4.5 inches and weighs 1/2 ounce, to target fish in shallow water that are feeding on bigger forage. (MSRP: $13.86) Lunkerhunt made a splash last year by winning the Best Soft Bait category at ICAST with its Bento Baits Minnow. This year, the company may have outdone itself with the Lunker Frog, one of the most life-like frog baits to hit the market. It's equipped with swimming legs that extend during the retrieve and retract on the pause – just like a living frog. Bass beware. Available in two colors with more to come. (MSRP: $7.99) Sunline took its best-selling product and added a colorful twist to it without sacrificing performance. While most experienced anglers know that fluorocarbon is less visible under water than nylon or braid, certain colors of fluoro, such as green, are even more difficult to detect when in the water. (MSRP: $31.99) Imagine taking your rod, reel and line to the detail shop for a little wash, wax and shine. That's what DYNA-TEK's patent-pending non-stick formula allows you to do. Easy to apply, DYNA-TEK's four-step application process helps reduce friction and minimizes corrosion, allowing you to extend the life of your equipment and detect more bites. (MSRP: $10.99) A portable and lightweight tackle organizer offers generous open storage space on top and easy front side access to three Zerust Tuff 'Tainers. Perfect for a newcomer to the sport or someone looking to downsize for a shore outing. (MSRP: $29) Cabela’s RealImage High-Definition Series lures feature an amazingly realistic finish achieved through a printing process that transfers an image of a real baitfish onto the lure. The body of the 4-inch (5/8-ounce) Forked-Tail Baitfish, which comes in seven colors, is made up of seven segments that closely mimic the swimming motion of a live baitfish. The bait was designed with a slightly heavier weight system, which allows it to remain in the strike zone longer than similar-style baits. (MSRP: $6.99)
Size: 4-inch, 5/8 oz. Advancing toward pure casting perfection, Cabela’s Platinum ZX Series rods are up to 30 percent stronger and 15 percent lighter than Cabela’s previous top-of-the-line XMLTi rods. These ultrasensitive, accurate-casting, tournament-grade rods incorporate revolutionary 3M Powerlux matrix resin and tangle-eliminating Fuji K-Series guides. Quality components include high-density EVA grips and MagTouch reel seats. All models have machined-aluminum locking nuts on the reel seats. (MSRP: $199.99) Redesigned with new features based on input from customers and Cabela’s expert field-testers, these bags now come equipped with a water-resistant fabric, heavy-duty zippers with speed zipper pulls. Other features include redesigned external gusseted pockets to accommodate standard size utility boxes, expanded zippered top opening for easier access and a several exterior pockets hold the essentials. Zippered mesh stash pockets store wet items and the durable 600-denier fabric construction is water- and UV-resistant. (MSRP: $34.99 to $119.99) Cabela’s most advanced Guidewear ever delivers many updated features, including a tough, 75-denier fabric that teams up with a three-layer, waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX laminate for warm, dry comfort.
The jacket comes with easy-moving articulated sleeves and a cord-lock-adjustable hood with brim along with adjustable cuffs, chest pockets and D-ring attachments.
The bibs have chest handwarmer pockets, heavy-duty straps and buckles, zip-to-thigh leg openings, interior waist adjustment and interior-leg storm flaps. (MSRP: $229.99 (bibs); $249.99 (jacket))
