Fishing is a relaxing, fruitful hobby that many dads often love, so this Father’s Day, consider getting a gift dedicated to your dad’s favorite hobby. Luckily, there are plenty of gifts for fishermen looking to add a new gadget or pole to their collection.
Here are a few gifts for dads who spend their weekends fishing on lakes, the ocean or just the local pond down the road.
A new fishing pole: $99.99
Although your dad likely has a huge collection of fishing poles, any fisherman is happy to add another option to their arsenal. You can get a Quest Spin Series from L.L. Bean. This pole comes ready to fish, just attach a lure and your dad is ready to go fishing. There's also the Vendetta Casting Rod from Abu Garcia, which is an ultra-lightweight pole that can handle even the biggest fish. If your dad prefers a more stylish pole, the Bass Pro Shops Prodigy Spinning Combo is a lightweight pole with an anti-reverse locking system that makes it easier to reel in a catch.
Pocket fishing rod: on sale for $31.60 (6% off)

Dads who take any chance they can to fish can use a pocket fishing rod wherever they go. Amazon's pocket fishing rod can fit in one hand and extends when it's time to fish. It comes with a reel that's easy to attach and also small enough to carry around in a small backpack. Walmart has a similar fishing rod that's barely bigger than a pen and includes everything your dad needs to have a good day of fishing.
Tackle backpack: $32.99
Instead of your dad carrying a giant tackle box down to his favorite fishing hole, get him a tackle backpack. Most of the packs can fit enough tackle boxes for an entire fishing army, plus they leave room for water, snacks and any other essentials your dad might need.
Amazon has a large tackle backpack in a variety of colors. Piscifun has a smaller, travel-size tackle bag for dads who like to fish on vacation.

Fishing vest: $38.98
Fishing vests are a great alternative to heavy tackle bags and can hold tackle, bait, your dad's phone and any other fishing necessities. The BASSDASH fishing vest from Amazon is a lightweight vest with 18 total pockets and a place to hook on a fishing net. L.L. Bean has a stylish fishing vest with more discreet pockets, including a giant zipper back pocket.
For more pockets and less vest, the Filson fly-fishing vest does the trick. It's a compact vest with suspender straps and a mesh backing, making it best for hot-weather fishing.
Fishing pole bag: on sale for $28.79 (36% off)

Bean's organizer straps behind your front seat and has spots for multiple fishing poles, bait, tackle and everything in between.

Fillet knife: on sale for $28.79 (24% off)

Fishing boots: $115
The right fishing boots help your dad keep his feet from getting soaked while he’s fishing. You can find basic deck boots that are waterproof from Xtratuf, or you can find waders for fly fishing at Simms Fishing. Both pairs of boots are stylish, while providing much-needed protection.
Fishing chair: $29.99
Help your dad really relax while fishing by getting him a fishing chair. A good fishing chair is compact and easy to carry, but still comfortable to sit on for a few hours. Walmart has supportive fishing chairs that fold up into a small carrying case. Or get a fishing chair with extra storage underneath from Amazon.
Fish cooler: $45.99
If your dad likes to visit fishing spots far from home, he’ll need a good fish cooler to keep his catch fresh while he travels home. These insulated coolers help keep the smell at bay and keep the fish from spoiling. Find simple fish coolers on Amazon or get a whole cooler from Igloo.
Fishing hat: $34.95
Fishing hats come in all shapes and sizes. There are sun hats with attached bug nets, like this one from Cabela’s, that help keep bugs away. There are also baseball caps with fishing logos, like these options from Simms Fishing, which are also helpful for keeping the sun at bay.
Mystery tackle box: $39.99
A mystery tackle box adds some extra fun to your dad’s gift. You can buy a box based on the type of fish your dad often catches, be it bass, catfish or any other kind of fish. The contents inside remain a mystery, however, until opened.
