Cushits Make Great Fishing Gifts for Less than $20
If you cannot afford an expensive gift, sometimes the best gift is one that protects an expensive item! It’s even better when that product can protect not only an expensive item but yourself as well. Ever drop a fishing rod overboard? Have you ever had a sore waist or ribs from the hard end of a fishing rod jamming into you after all day on the water? If you haven’t, the person in your life that fishes probably has. Well, with the gift of a Cush-it from Luna Sea, your loved one will stay comfortable all day and not have to worry if his rod goes overboard! Luna Sea’s Cush-it is a proprietary soft plastic foam rod butt cushion that floats most rods and cushions your body from the rigors of long days on the water. Cushits are easy to put on and take off, and they’re extremely durable. Available in a size and color to accommodate almost every fisherman, there’s sure to be a Cush-it model that will work for your fishing rods. The Cush-it models available for under $20 are the Big Bass, Elite Bass, Elite Pro 2, and Inshore.
Leader Organizers are Super Fishing Gift Ideas that Cost Less Than $20
If the person in your life that fishes is a bit unorganized and you see fishing line going everywhere, chances are they might benefit from a leader organizer for their fishing rigs! The Leadermate is a proprietary foam leader organizer that snaps to your rod or can be used separately. It eliminates the hassle of unrigging your long salmon or saltwater rigs each time you move or are done for the day. Just wrap your fishing leader around the Leadermate. Then tuck any sinkers, dipsy or jet divers, hooks, or other terminal tackle in the patented grooves of the Leadermate, and it will be ready for quick deployment at the next spot.
PowerPro Braided Fishing Line
Unless it’s a jumbo spool, most fishing line is already under $20. But, don’t get cheap line. Get your loved one something that tells him you know he takes his fishing seriously! PowerPro braided fishing line is as good as it gets. For $15, pickup a 150 yard spool of 10lb test PowerPro Braid. I guarantee the person in your life that loves to fish will put it to great use! If you’re new to fishing and not sure where to start, here’s an article to help you with the basic equipment for fishing.
Headlamps Make Perfect Gifts Under $20 for Anglers
It doesn’t immediately scream fishing, but I guarantee the angler in your life will appreciate having a couple headlamps handy in the boat or tackle box. Anglers often need both hands free to tie knots, making headlamps extremely helpful! Dawn and Dusk are often the best fishing times, and a little extra light can mean all the difference in getting your lure back in the water and fishing before the bite ends! You don’t have to spend a lot of money on fancy headlamps. Get a quality, high-rated headlamp from a local retailer like Walmart or Home Depot, or buy headlamps online at Amazon. The thing I look for is a colored beam mode so you can protect your night vision and still see. I also want one that is small, lightweight, and takes common batteries. I prefer the ones that take 3, AAA batteries. They’ll be cheaper to replace in the long run.
Protect Your Skin with a Sun Shield Fishing Mask
Last I checked, all fishing takes place outside, and that means sun & wind! When you’re over water, the sun’s affects can take an even faster toll on your skin because of the reflection. Wind can also damage your skin and leave you very uncomfortable. Whether ourselves or a loved one, we’ve all been impacted by cancer, so reduce the risk of ever getting skin cancer by protecting your head and neck with a sun shield, UV blocking, fishing mask! There are a ton of options available. This great article describes sun shield masks for fishing in detail. A couple we recommend are:
- World Wide Sportsman Sun Stopper Multipurpose Headgear or Sun Hood
- AFTCO Bass Sun Mask
These can be purchased online or in person at Bass Pro Shops.
