It is believed that time spent fishing does not count towards life. Indeed, a person who is keen on fishing is able to devote almost all his free time to his hobby. And when a gift is chosen for the fisherman, it is not for nothing that they immediately intuitively try to connect it with the enthusiasm of the hero of the occasion.
What should be considered?
It is good if a gift is chosen by a person who is aware of the intricacies of fishing, because there are so many nuances in it that it will be very difficult for an ignorant person to understand. A gift to an avid fisherman, first of all, should be practical, that is, a fisherman should be useful for his hobby. If you present a thing that formally relates to fishing, but is absolutely not needed for a particular person, it will simply gather dust in the pantry or on the balcony.
Of course, the hero of the occasion will thank for the attention, but he will think to himself that it would be better if you did not undertake the purchase of specific gifts.
Therefore, the first thing to be soberly evaluated is your ability to understand what is being discussed. Otherwise, even appeal to special shop, where everything is sold for fishing and hunting, will not save the situation: the seller is unlikely to be able to understand what exactly you want to present to the guy, dad, husband, brother - fishing lovers.
The second thing to do when choosing a gift for a fisherman is enlist the support of one of his comrades, such fishermen. They know for sure what their fellow hobbyist needs for his anniversary, birthday, New Year's holidays and February 23rd. In this case, the present will hit "right on target."
It’s also worthwhile to know in advance - the fan of the festivities is winter or summer fishing, this will help you navigate around the equipment and accessories segment. It is also advisable to find out which fish he prefers to catch, this will help to more accurately choose tackles, lures and bait.
You should also consider how often a man goes fishing, how much time he spends there, how long he gathers, what arsenal of fishing tackle he has, how and where they are stored. And, finally, it is desirable to know, and what, in fact, the hero of the occasion most often uses the fishing method (whether it catches a spinning rod or prefers a fishing rodor maybe a fan of bottom gear).
It should be borne in mind that every man, regardless of the captured trophies, is proud of himself and dreams of his merits being noted by relatives and friends. Therefore, it makes no difference whether he catches a large predator or is content with a cat for dinner with a small catch - In any case, “premium” gifts should be added to the present:
- Champion Fishing Cup;
- certificate of honor “For the best catch”;
- Medal for Merit to Fisheries;
- figurine of a fisherman with a dedicatory inscribed engraved inscription "Ivan - the best fisherman on the planet."
Do not be shy, do not be afraid to praise the fisherman - this is impossible in principle. And after such an “award” souvenir feel free to proceed to the choice of the main gift.
Original options
Any fisherman will say that he is not opposed to being presented with a gift certificate to a fishing store for his birthday or for any other reason. Within the allotted amount, he will be able to buy for himself what he needs, but he will be grateful for the purchase to you. But what if you want to give something right now, while guests are at the table, while emotions are over the edge - how to please a fisherman? Give an unusual gift. These include numerous «smart» gadgets for fishing.
Echo sounder - the device will help determine where it bites and whether it is worth catching where it is already located. The device sends ultrasound to the water depths, and the bottom structure, depth, presence of fish, as well as where it is currently moving, are determined on the screen. Please note that for fishing from a boat you need a more powerful echo sounder than when fishing at the hole, and lovers of winter fishing need to take a gadget, the manufacturers of which provided for work in low temperatures.
Underwater camera - A video camera that completely deprives fishing of secrets, but does not deprive of excitement. It allows you to see everything that happens under water. A fan of serious fishing with the help of such a device will not only study the conditions of fishing, but will also be able to learn more about the habits of different species of fish: which bait is preferred, how they behave with different feeding.
In addition, pretty quickly the fisherman will collect a real video from his own victories - the nibble is recorded in the camera’s memory. Then you can watch the video with friends for an infinitely long time and once again exclaim: “No, well, look how I have it!”.
Protective Case for Smartphone - phones or smartphones while fishing, where water, snow, frost, sand and other natural charms often suffer, break, get wet, freeze, and the battery runs out quickly. Therefore, the wife, who can never reach the spouse who went fishing, is simply obliged to present him with a “smart” case for the gadget. Such an accessory will help protect the device from freezing and moisture, the penetration of sand, and also save battery power much longer. There are models that allow a smartphone that has fallen, for example, into a hole, to float without loss.
Fire rechargeable batteries - a device in the shape of a PowerPot pot will help to solve two problems at once: it will boil tea and the phone or the echo sounder will charge. It is simple to use: pour water and put on fire, after which any gadget that needs recharging is connected via a special fire-resistant USB cord to the kettle. Thermal energy due to the mechanism in the bottom of the pot becomes electric.
Wobbler of the future - an amazing invention that very accurately mimics wounded fish. This is not just a fixed wobbler. This one writhes, twitches, and even makes quiet, one fish audible sounds of a dying individual. This is especially strong for predatory fish, which will go for such a wobbler anywhere. The “injured fish” is charged via USB and does not require the purchase of additional replaceable batteries.
Self-fishing rod - In general, an ordinary fishing rod, but only equipped with a hook mechanism. Skip a bite with this will not work. The hook itself is accurate, fast, the fish does not have time to "jump" off the hook. A very useful gift if the fisherman catches on a grand scale, for example, at once on several rods. Imagine how tense he is, trying to visually control several floats at once!
Not to mention the situation when such a fisherman desires to step aside, and he is so afraid to miss the bite! This is where the self-bailing “smart” fishing rod comes to the rescue.
Fishing vest - any fisherman knows that everything should be at hand. A warm vest that doesn’t interfere with moving will help with this, with a mass of pockets for everything a fisherman needs: for a telephone, heating modules, glasses, documents, keys, drinking water, weights, spinners, baits, boxes and a knife. There is even a USB port built into the vest.
- Float suit - This is a professional suit that in the literal sense of the word will help a man stay afloat. Seriously, it will save a life if a fisherman suddenly falls into the water. The tissue pushes the human body to the surface of the water and does not get wet. Also, the life suit will not allow colds and hypothermia - it is airtight and protects from wind.
Equipment
The fisherman is always glad to equipment, but it should be understood that fishing tackle is usually not inexpensive. All good requires quite substantial financial costs. But the husband, father or brother does not need separate gifts from each member of the family for his birthday, he will be much more happy if relatives and friends join their financial efforts and acquire some of the equipment. Useful acquisitions include:
- fishing rod included;
- equipped spinning;
- stocked feeder;
- special fishing clothes and shoes for fishing.
The fisherman is unlikely to abandon the backpack, specially sewn for hunters and fishermen, you can present him with a fishing kit (there are ready-made equipment in specialized stores), a variety of lures, accessories for equipment.
You can please the fisherman without having a large amount. Within 500 rubles there is an opportunity to purchase fishing boats in the winter, within 300 rubles there is a reliable thermo mug that will retain the warmth of tea with the smell of smoke boiled over a fire for a long time.
When looking at a fishing rod, remember that for a beginner in this business, expensive spinning rods are not suitable, whereas for an experienced fish hunter, spinning is simply perfect. This is where accurate knowledge of the type of fishing used by the fisherman comes in handy. If he is a fan of bottom fishing, take feeder, if you prefer trolling, take a special set, which is called - set for trolling.
If in winter a man is in a hurry to go fishing every weekend, take a fishing rod for ice fishing.
Sometimes for some reason there is no real opportunity or need to take the fishing rod as a whole, and then it is possible to present its parts to the fisherman (for replacement, for example).
Perhaps your hero of the occasion needs a new rod or a new reel.
If your fisherman has everything, and the next fishing rod, to put it mildly, doesn’t need to take a closer look, perhaps the man needs a comfortable thermal underwear, which will not be cold fishing in winter, or in a special jacket for the fisherman. It may also be pleased with additional accessories such as catch cage, portable tackle box, compact folding chair, tent, rubber boat or set for cleaning and cutting fish in the ear and other dishes. A useful gift would be thermos (unless, of course, he is not). A winter fisherman will like motor ice drill to make holes faster and without significant effort.
A true fisherman will be grateful for receiving special scales for weighing the caught fish, as well as a fishing knife of high quality - he always has a worthy use in fishing. Be careful in choosing sets of lures - basically such sets are in demand among amateur beginners who have not yet decided on their favorite type of lure.
An experienced avid fisherman may be disappointed with a set of standard mormyshki, because he always buys only certain baits, carefully choosing each, and he needs standard mormyshki “like an umbrella for fish”.
Comic Presents
Comic presents should also be useful, otherwise a man will not be able to evaluate their value. Therefore, we recommend the following souvenirs and sets.
- Frame on car number with the inscription "The fisherman sees the fisherman from afar."
- Thematic photo album "My fishing", where a man will be able to add pictures of the best captured trophies and himself fishing.
- T-shirt "Fishometer" - clothes with a symbolic “meter”, so that holding the fish by the head or tail, in the photo, for example, its length was immediately displayed.
- Name Mug with heat resistant layer.
- Canned Socks - so called "Socks of the stern fisherman" (you can open the can "in difficult times", the socks in it are real, dry, new).
- Home slippers in the shape of fish.
- Toilet Fishing Set - sitting on the toilet, your hero of the occasion will be able to have fun with a magnetic fishing rod, catching toy fish from a small container with water standing on the floor.
- TOThe secret of successful fishing nigga. The main advantage of the publication is in the cache, which is cut out in the middle of the volume, if opened. This volume is a way of legalizing male “nest egg” that really makes any fishing more interesting.
- Piggy bank safe with a fish-shaped combination lock - Another way to legalize and make inaccessible to others their personal small savings (on a new rod).
- Glass "Drunken Fisherman" - the glass itself is skewed, crooked. It is made so that even empty produces a visual effect of filling with water with a fish floating in it.
What can you do yourself?
The best gift is, of course, a handmade gift, but not in the case of anglers. On New Year's Day, fisherman's day, birthday and other holidays, male fishermen will be delighted with the selection of chocolate, the designs in the form of fish made of sweets, a cake with masticated fishermen and fish, but only as an addition to the main gift. Yes, they do not admit it. But they are upset that they did not even present a set of mormyshka.
However, from children and a beloved woman, a thematic cake and a nice verse about dad-fisherman will be very useful.
The best gift for the fisherman - beautifully and deliciously cooked and served his own catch. There is no more reason for pride than to inform guests that this pike was caught by his hands. If the man himself prefers to cook fish (there are many culinary specialists among the fishermen), sew him a personalized kitchen apron with the embroidered inscription “Master Dima’s soup” or present a ceramic plate with the inscription “For Dima’s catch” and a symbolic fish pattern.
