Last-Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas for the Fishing Dad

June 15, 2018By designatwork

With Father's Day right around the corner, many sons and daughters are searching for the perfect gift for their dad. For those dads who fish from a kayak, YakGear has assembled a few gifts to help round out dad's fishing gear.

Accidents Happen

If you fish from a kayak long enough, you are bound to tip one over or accidentally kick something off the deck into the water. The YakGear Coiled Fishing Rod Leash is the perfect gift to save dad's favorite rod and reel from a deep plunge to the bottom. Made from solid rubber, the leash features a full memory coil, which stretches from 24"to 60". The quick-connect, swivel hook is easily attached to the kayak while the extra-tight Velcro strap holds rods snug.

Get a Grip

Losing a fish while in the kayak can spoil an otherwise perfect day of fishing. The Fish Grip landing tool holds the lip of a fish without injuring it. With its unique jaw design, the Fish Grip locks into place for total control. The wrist lanyard keeps the Fish Grip close at hand and even floats in case it is dropped into the water.

Staying Put in the Shallows

For dads who routinely fish shallow waters the YakStick Floating Stake-Out Stick provides silent and effortless anchoring with its nylon tip. The YakStick's unique, multi-purpose handle doubles as a true mud foot for push-poling or pushing off sandbars and shorelines. The YakStick is available in two lengths (6' 4"and 8' 7") and is compatible with YakGear and RAILBLAZA camera accessories.

Stay Connected

The RAILBLAZA Mobi Adjustable Device Holder secures dad's phone, GPS unit, VHF radio and EPIRB (Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon). Spring-loaded arms with neoprene rubber pads hold dad's favorite communication or safety devices even in rugged conditions. An adjustable, UV-stabilized urethane rubber retaining strap ensures the device stays put. Be sure to pick your favorite base for the appropriate mounting placement.

In the Right Spot

Dad's who routinely anchor their kayak while fishing need a way to maintain correct positioning. YakGear's Deluxe Anchor Trolley creates an adjustable attachment point for the anchor to connect to the kayak. This adjustability allows kayak anglers to maintain and fine tune the angle based on changing wind conditions or current. The complete kit comes with all stainless steel installation hardware, installation instructions, and rigging tips from YakGear.
