You can opt for a hard, sturdy box that can handle knocks and bumps, or a softer, lightweight bag with a handle and strap for easy carrying. You can also find tackle backpacks and shoulder bags, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-accessories\/tackle-boxes-bags\/fly-fishing-tackle-bags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tackle bags specially designed for fly-fishing enthusiasts<\/a>.\r\n\r\nWhatever your loved one's level of experience, choose a model that can store all his or her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/hot-fishing-gear-buyers-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fishing gear<\/a>. Go for a tackle box with multiple compartments to hold lures, fishing line and other small accessories. Skill level and years of practice also have an impact; more experienced anglers generally tend to have a more extensive collection of tackle! Some bags are also packed with handy little pockets and storage compartments: sunglasses compartment, cell phone or GPS pocket, key holder, mesh compartments on the outside\u2026 In any case, you can't go wrong with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-accessories\/tackle-boxes-bags#\/filter:manufacturer:PLANO\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plano<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-accessories\/tackle-boxes-bags#\/filter:manufacturer:FLAMBEAU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flambeau<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-accessories\/tackle-boxes-bags#\/filter:manufacturer:SAIL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAIL<\/a> tackle box, bag or lure box!\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[stag_button url=\"<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-accessories\/tackle-boxes-bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\u201dbefore\u201d]Tackle boxes and bags[\/stag_button]<\/span><\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"nosto_products","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","nosto_class_name":"blog_cp_fishing_bags-boxes"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"A technological tool: the sonar","text_content":"<h3>2.

A little help from technology is always welcome when it's time to find the right spot to cast your line.\r\nAlthough this type of equipment can be quite expensive, there's a good range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/sonars\/sonars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sonars available for a few hundreds of dollars<\/a>. Of course, the most sophisticated models, equipped with state-of-the-art features, can cost up to $6,000. But not every angler needs a high-definition widescreen display, built-in GPS or preloaded maps.\r\nThe most important thing before buying a fishing gift, let alone a sonar, is to be well informed. Read our article to learn how to choose the right fishing sonar. Choose what suits your loved one's needs, type of boat\u2026 and your budget! You don't have to break the bank to give a reliable, high-performance and easy-to-use fishing sonar.\r\nAnd if your loved one is a fan of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/fishing\/ice-fishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hard water fishing<\/a> in winter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/how-to-choose-the-right-fishing-sonar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consider ice fishing sonars<\/a>!

Besides, buying one kills two birds with one stone, as it will come in handy on both fishing trips and other excursions.\"\r\nThere again, you will be spoiled for choice. If you want to give a versatile bag that's just as handy on fishing trips as it is anywhere else, opt for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/outdoor-gear\/bags\/backpacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hiking backpack<\/a>. If, on the other hand, your idea is to give a truly fishing-oriented gift, go for a model built specifically for this purpose, such as those from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/plano\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Plano<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/sail\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAIL<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/simms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Simms<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/orvis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orvis<\/a>.\r\nIn all cases, choose a bag with the right capacity. Don't forget that it will be filled with lures and all kinds of other fishing accessories. A 20 to 40-litre capacity is often enough for short getaways, but if your loved one likes to go on longer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/fishing-gear-checklist-the-gear-you-need\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fishing trips<\/a>, opt for a 40 to 50-litre backpack.\r\nAs for features, it\u2019s up to you to choose according to your loved one's preferences. Each model has its own perks: padded shoulder straps, outside mesh compartments, sturdy shell exterior, lined pockets\u2026 Just make sure the bag is water-resistant, and that it can hold up through multiple fishing trips (a hook snag is never too far away!)"},{"acf_fc_layout":"nosto_products","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","nosto_class_name":"blog_cp_outdoor-gear_backpacks"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"A protective layer: merino wool clothing","text_content":"<h3>4.

If you know someone who\u2019s passionate about the sport, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/shop?q=base+layer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">merino wool base layer<\/a> makes an excellent gift. In the words of Cyril Chauquet: \"It doesn't matter if your loved one is an ice-fishing enthusiast or a cold-weather climber; technical clothing is every adventurer's greatest ally. Get some merino wool clothing for a gift that ensures warmth and dryness during outdoor activities.\u201d\r\n\r\nMerino wool's numerous qualities make it the best option for base layers. It is warm, breathable and lightweight, and more importantly, it wicks moisture away so it doesn't linger on the skin, making merino the ultimate base or mid-layer for any serious angler.\r\n\r\nA good base layer, whether merino wool or synthetic fibre, is the first level of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/layering-the-art-of-staying-warm-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">multi-layer system<\/a>, which is the ideal technique for preserving body heat when the mercury drops.\r\n\r\nLook to brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/smartwool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smartwool<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/icebreaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Icebreaker<\/a> to find this great gift for anglers.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/shop?q=base+layer\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\u201dbefore\u201d]Base layers[\/stag_button]<\/span><\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"nosto_products","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","nosto_class_name":"blog_cp_men_baselayer"},{"acf_fc_layout":"nosto_products","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","nosto_class_name":"blog_cp_women_baselayer"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"The ultimate fishing gift: a rod and reel combo","text_content":"<h3>5.

But that's no reason to pass up on this great gift idea for anglers!\r\n\r\nStill, before you can pick a model, you'll need to know a bit more about the fishing ways of your gift recipient. What fish species does this angler like to go after? What kind of presentations (and lures in particular) does he or she lean towards? Which fishing techniques?\r\n\r\nOnce you know all this, choosing the right model becomes a whole lot easier. And if you're looking for a safe bet, here's another card you can play: a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/rods\/rod-reel-kits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rod and reel kit<\/a>!

There are many reasons for this, not least the fact that clothing designed for fishing comes with specific features that are tailored to the needs of anglers.\r\nFor summer, fishing clothing needs to be light, breathable, and quick-drying. Ideally, it should also offer protection against the sun's harmful rays. Such is the case of the items in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/shop?q=Columbia+PFG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Columbia PFG collection<\/a>, most of which feature <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/blog\/columbia-pfg-fishing-clothing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Omni-Shade\u2122 UPF<\/a> 50 protection.\r\nFor transitional seasons, it's best to choose fishing clothing that's warm, breathable and water-resistant. Look for hard-wearing, windproof styles that will offer your beloved angler years of protection against the elements. Pieces with a durable water-repellent treatment are also a must.\r\nThe rest is all a matter of taste! Material, fit, colours\u2026 No one knows your loved one better than you. Take your time to explore our extensive collection of fishing clothing for every season, featuring brands like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-clothing-boots#\/filter:manufacturer:COLUMBIA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Columbia<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-clothing-boots#\/filter:manufacturer:SIMMS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Simms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-clothing-boots#\/filter:manufacturer:SAIL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAIL<\/a>.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[stag_button url=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fishing-clothing-boots\" style=\"black\" size=\"medium\" type=\"normal\" target=\"_blank\" icon=\"\" icon_order=\u201dbefore\u201d]Fishing clothing[\/stag_button]<\/span><\/p>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"nosto_products","content_anchor":false,"anchor_link_text":"","nosto_class_name":"blog_cp_fishing_clothing"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_content","content_anchor":true,"anchor_link_text":"Fishing lures","text_content":"<h3>7.

And a good presentation requires a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/lures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lure<\/a> adapted to the target fish species. So there's an excellent gift idea for both beginners and experienced anglers who want to maximize their catches!\r\n\r\nThere are (many) different kinds of lures on the market. All anglers have their personal favourites, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try something new. All this to say: you can't really go wrong when giving a lure. Each lure has its own purpose: some are ideal for a particular species, others for a specific fishing technique, and others yet for a certain type of underwater structure\u2026 That's why there's such a wide variety. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/lures\/spoons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spoons<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/lures\/hard-bait\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hard bait<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/lures\/soft-bait\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">soft plastic lures<\/a>\u2026 With a well-stocked tackle box, your loved one will be able to present a wider variety of lures, which will ultimately lead to more bites!\r\n\r\nBut how do you know which lures to get? If you know a thing or two about your loved one's practice (techniques, target species, etc.), it should be pretty easy. For a fly fishing enthusiast, for instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/fly-fishing\/flies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flies<\/a> are the way to go! For someone who has a particular interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/cyril-s-tackle-boxes\/pike-fishing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pike<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/cyril-s-tackle-boxes\/trout-fishing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trout fishing<\/a>, just take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sail.ca\/en\/fishing\/cyril-s-tackle-boxes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cyril Chauquet's tackle boxes<\/a> and you'll find plenty of ideas.
