Gift List for the Kayak Angler Who Has Everything - 2012

Are you the loved one of someone who is addicted to kayak angling?  Do you want to get them a great gift for Christmas, but don't have any idea where to start?  Do they already have everything they need to catch the fish that they peruse more than they are with you? Well Fish Tattoo is here to help.

Presenting...the 2012 Gift List for the Kayak Angler Who Has Everything:

Odds and Ends

Greenback Wallet (Recycled Waders) - $22


A wallet is usually a pretty good gift.  But when that wallet is made from recycled waders, it becomes even better.  Protect your money and the environment  while showing off your dedication to the sport of fishing.  








Make A Collage or Poster - $5 - $25

Get copies of a bunch of their favorite fishing pictures (should be pretty easy if the angler has a Facebook account), put them together in a frame, or frame each one individually, and bam...there is the gift.  Every fisherman loves to show of their catches, and a handmade gift from you will make them feel lover.  The one to the left is an example of one that my brother gave me for Christmas last year.










Leather Fishing Journal (Blue Ribbon Flies) - $34


A fishing journal is something every angler needs.  It can help them track their catches for memories or to catch more fish in the future.  You can't beat the styling and feel of this leather covered fishing log from Blue Ribbon Flies.

Hand made of leather and canvas, these creel style fly fishing bags are perfect for the man powered fly angler.  Easy to take on a hike or on a kayak float to your favorite fly fishing grounds, these bags have plenty of storage for your tackle on an adventure in pursuit of fish.











On Board Accessories











The Angler Pro Kayak paddle is the latest in kayak fishing paddle technology.  Designed by kayak anglers for kayak fishing, this ultra-light-weight-paddle will get you where you need to go to catch the fish without zapping your energy.








The Pelican 1050 is the perfect case to store a cell phone, camera, and a set of keys, while out kayak fishing.  Feel secure that your phone will stay dry from paddle and fish splashing, and your camera will work to take a picture of the big-one from the day.















You Can't Have Too Many Lures or Flies



Sure, every bass angler has countless jigs already, but that is because they catch fish.  And they could always use more (I promise.)  But, are the jigs they have environmentally responsible?  These jigs from Green Tackle are lead free, helping you to protect the water while you fish.  Can't beat that with a stick.

HD - Sunfish Series Rat-L-Trap (Bill Lewis Lure) - $7.49

Remember when you first started fishing?  What were some of the first lures you ever caught a fish on?  For many of us, the Rat-L-Trap is sure on this list.  I guarantee the Trap will catch as many or more fish now than it did back in the day.  Especially with the HD -Sunfish Series from Rat-L-Trap.  With realistic HD bodies, with scales, and 3D eyes, the original Rat-L-Trap just got better.

Mystery Tackle Box - $45 | $90 | $180


The Mystery Tackle Box is a monthly subscription that send out a box of new lures each month.  It is a great way to try out new lures, and to build up a stock of lures that you need. And with options for a 3 month, 6 month, or 12 month subscriptions, their are choices to fit different budgets.

Fly of the Month Club - $60 | $120 | $240

The fly of the month club has memberships for either the saltwater or freshwater angler.  Each month, the Fly of the Month Club will mail a set of a new fly, along with a two page bulitain describing the history of and how to fish that specific fly pattern.

Clothing is Always Useful

Classic Light Weight Hoodie (GreenFish Movement) - $12.99

First of all, how can you argue with a hoodie that promotes conservation of the waters we love.  The GreanFish Movement set out as a company to protect the environment, and they do a good job at it.  Plus, everyone wants a hoodie, and how can you argue with $12.99!  You can't!  And...a protion of what you pay will go to the fisheries conservation charity of your choice.








Kids Shirt (Loon Outdoors) - $15


Does the kayak angler in your life have a kiddo that needs to fit the part?  Well, Loon Outdoors has got you covered.  Plus, the kid can now vouch for every fish his dad "catches."  And again, like so many other companies, who can argue against buying from a company that is dedicated to protecting what we love. 









Pecos Hat (Tula Hats) - $33.99


Fit for a rugged Western kayak angler or his beutiful bride, the Pecos hat from Tula provides great sun protection with a UPF of 50+.  It is hand woven from palm, a sustainable material, so you know you will be helping to protect the environment at the same time.  Plus, the styling is just too hard to beat.

Pecos Hat



The Original Wool Stormy Kromer Cap (Stormy Kromer) - $39.99

The Original Wool Stormy Kromer Cap is the perfect cold weather cap for the kayak angler.  The wool will keep him warm, even if it gets wet, and the  tie will keep it secure to his head, even in the strongest of winds.  Plus, nobody can argue with an American original.

It is available for her too: Ida Kromer Cap




Gaucho Snapshirt - Dancing Prawn (Howler Brothers) - $75





Nothing says, "I live the laid back, yet dedicated, kayak fishing lifestyle, like a fishing shirt with dancing prawns on it!  Especially if that shirt has pearl snaps on it as well.  As Howler Brothers says, "(he'll) be the envy of any campfire."
