It’s that time of the year where small gifts for the avid or weekend fisherman are given, but unfortunately most of those gifts wind up on in the garage only to collect dust and then eventually thrown away. In order to try to avoid this predicament I have tried to come up with a list of gifts under $30 that almost any fisherman would love to have and use regularly. Here is a list of a few items:
- H Headwaters Taco Bag: This is a cool bag from Simms that allows for the angler who regularly uses waders to keep the river (and its smell) out of the car. If you use waders regularly whether in fresh or saltwater and always have difficulty at the end of the day finding a place to put the now soaked and sandy boots and waders, this is it. MSRP: 29.95
- Revivex: This is a great gift for anyone who has Gore-Tex products that are starting to age. If Gore-Tex doesn’t seem to shed water like it once did, it is probably time to apply this to the garment. MSRP 14.95
- Sebile Slender Eel: Are you looking for a stocking stuffer for the avid surf angler? If so, the new slender eel from Sebile is a great year round lure. This lure represents a bait / forage fish, the sand eel, which striped bass feed on year round with a profile and action that attracts all fish. This bait in Ghost Violet will be the go-to bait for that person for years to come. MSRP 14.10 - 15.58

- Connect (DVD): From the film makers of “Drift” and “Rise”, Confluence Films has released its third and final film. While the film focuses around destination fishing with the fly rod; the music, scenery and exotic fish transcend to anyone who enjoys dreaming of fishing while the weather outside may be frightful. MSRP: 29.95

- Cliff Outdoors Super Days Worth Box: This box can hold enough for a day or years worth of fishing for the minimalist fly fisherman, begins the collection for the new fly fisherman or increases the collection of the established fly fisher. MSRP 28.85

- Seaguar Red Label Fluorocarbon: This stuff is tough, abrasion resistant and strong and a line which I use with 
confidence for salmon, steelhead, redfish and striped bass. MSRP: 12.99
