A wise man once said, “A reel expert can tackle anything,” but the right equipment goes a long way. This year, get the fishing enthusiasts in your life exactly what they need. Here is their secret wish list ranging from stocking stuffers to big-ticket items.

1. The ultimate gift is an exclusive adventure fishing tour in the Pacific North West. The area experienced historic runs of coho, chinook and halibut last year and the largest sockeye salmon run in almost a century.

To guarantee a unique and unforgettable experience, the Peregrine Lodge in Haida Gwaii is where serious fishing enthusiasts want to go. With a number of dates and packages to choose from, the lodge has experienced fishing guides, accommodation, gourmet cuisine, golfing facilities and more.

2. The Tackle Grab Subscription is the gift that keeps giving year round. With a subscription, the fishing enthusiast fills in information on fishing style, ability and habitat online. Then a customized box of fishing supplies best suited to them arrives at their doorstep every month.

3. Catching the fish is just the beginning, but holding on to it is the hard part! Lindy fishing gloves provide all the grip and comfort you need to hang on tight. The rubber, textured exterior help hold a struggling, slippery fish still. The super flexible anti-cut SuperFabric™ ensure hands are protected from sharp fins, teeth and hooks. And the gloves are machine washable so all the fish slime and odors are gone in a snap. They are useful for freshwater and saltwater fishing.

4. Marine binoculars bring you closer to the action. With Bushnell Waterproof Compact Binoculars, fishermen can easily spot where the fish are surfacing to best position themselves. The special features of these binoculars include water and fog proof lenses, a textured exterior to give firm grip even in the most challenging conditions, and a lifetime warranty. It comes with its own carrying case and is a great addition to any fishing kit.

5. The aptly named Ultimate Fishing Tool is the fishermans’ one stop shop that fits snuggly into a tackle box or pocket. It includes a scraper, foldable stand, LED light, serrated knife, scissors, bottle opener, hook remover, scale and tape measure. It makes a versatile gift for anglers of all levels.

6. For net fishing, the Frabill Tangle-Free Rubber Landing Net is worth the investment. The rubber bag never gets tangled while fish are whipping around, and reduces hook and gill snags. This strong net will last a very long time.

7. There is no better fish than a freshly caught and filleted fish. The J.A Henckels Fine Edge Pro Knife Block Set includes all the knives to get that perfect cut. It comes with 13 knives, wooden block, and an easy-to-use knife sharpener.

8. You can stay connected on longer fishing trips with the Iridium Go Satellite Hub. Flip up the antenna and create an instant Wi-Fi hotspot in the most remote fishing spots. With no roaming charges, data usage or coverage to worry about, the Go Satellite Hub acts as its own global cell tower. It is compatible with Apple, Android, and tablets and guarantees 5.5 hours of talk time.

9. Cabela’s Willow Creek Vest provides plenty of storage and dries fast, to make fishing comfortable and convenient. In addition to zippered exterior pockets, it has interior pockets to fit wallets, sunglasses or mobile devices. This is great for the first-time fisher or expert.

10. Without the picture proof, no one will believe the size of that catch! Make sure the fishing enthusiast in your life can get that proud picture with the Olympus TG-3 Black waterproof camera . This camera has features that ensure blur-free action shots even in low-light conditions so the full glory of the fishing adventure is captured.

11. The Berkley Tackle Bag is a fisherman’s best friend. It holds everything a typical tackle box can, but with added convenience. The inserts can be swapped out to fit exactly what needs to be brought on the fishing excursion, and the heavy duty water-resistant fabric make sure the contents are safe and secure. With its many pockets and shoulder strap, it’s easy to bring along on any trip.

12. The Nautilus Lifeline Rescue Radio is a marine rescue radio works everywhere in the world. Its easy-to-use 3 button system make it so virtually anyone can use them. The green button contacts the boats and frequencies in close vicinity, the orange button sends an alert to the international hail and distress call, and the red button send coordinates as and the distress signal as far as possible. Give the gift of peace of mind knowing that everyone is safe out on the water.

13. Behind every great fish fry is a good grill, and the George Foreman Indoor/Outdoor Grill delivers the big BBQ taste without the hassle. It requires no propane or charcoal and is coated with George Tough™ Nonstick Coating so every bit of fish comes off and makes it easy to clean.
