We have done a ton of research and we believe the following list compiles some of the coolest and most unique fishing gifts for the 2012 holiday season!

Survival fishing kits have always been a big hit amongst anglers!

Whether you’re traveling to far off remote destinations, or just like beeing prepared for unforeseen emergencies, these kits have a great assortment of tackle and are sure to make your angler happy and prepared!

How To Tie Fishing Knots (Waterproof & Portable Cards)

An angler needs to remember how to tie quite a few fishing knots and sometimes we forget just the right way to do it, or forget just what knot is needed for that particular situation.

These cards are really a lifesaver in a situation like this!  They are durable and stow away compactly in a fishing vest, tackle box or in the boat.

These tables keep you from messing up your kitchen while at the same time providing you with a more than adequate space for doing all of your cutting and packaging.

There isn’t an angler out there that doesn’t wish that they had the ability to see under water and find out if the fish were really there!

These units are amazing, now we have the ability to not only visually find fish but also tell what type they are and even see them bite our line!

Lure Wrap – Covers Hooks & Eliminates Tangles
