Hard Bodied Swimbait : Roman Made Trick - Hand made hard bodied swimbaits are often functional works of art and sometimes it is hard to decide whether to leave the baits on the shelf or actually get them wet. There are no "tricks" here, watching this bait kick back and forth during the retrieve is like poetry in motion.

The Trick is completely different than the Roman Made Negotiator and swims with a more traditional slinking action and delivers a very consistent action whether it is fished slow or burned. Beautifully crafted these exotic swimbaits are designed for serious swimbait anglers. The Trick is available in a lipless version and a lipped version which is designed to provide additional resistance and displace even more water when fish are more aggressive. Both baits retail for $84.99 each.

Enthusiast Lure : Megabass FX Knuckle 60 - Square billed cranks never go out of style, but leave it to Yuki Ito to provide a new twist to an old, reliable, standby. The new FX Knuckle 60 looks to be a traditional square bill crank until you look closely at the bill. It pivots and by adjusting the bill into one of two positions, you can make it run close to the surface as a wake bait, or dive down to roughly five feet of water (depending on the diameter of your fishing line). All this of course, with the same bait and without the need to retie. Better yet, the FX Knuckle 60 is available right now!

Saltwater Lure : Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow - Looking for a worthy lure to complete that combo for the saltwater angler on your list? Daiwa’s Salt Pro Minnow is everything a traditional rip bait should be – long casting, erratic on the retrieve, available in a variety of fish catching colors – but it’s made especially for saltwater species meaning it’s bigger, heavier, and built to be durable. It’s an excellent choice for fishing in the surf or out on the flats and is available now at Hi's Tackle Box for $9.95 each.

Storage : Flambeau Tuff 'Tainer Tackle Box with Zerust - Flambeau found a way to innovate this season with their new boxes which feature "Zerust" technology. Zerust is designed to protect your tackle from corrosion and rust and is molded into the dividers in these storage boxes. The Tuff Tainer dividers emit a harmless vapor which forms a protective layer around metal surfaces like terminal tackle, blades and hooks. These dividers are designed to keep emitting this vapor for up to five years. Flambeau offers these boxes in popular sizes with a variety of different storage configurations. These boxes retail from $3.69 to $14.99 depending on size and model at Tackle Warehouse.  

Tools : P-Line Adaro SparrowHawk Aluminum Pliers - Tools always make great gifts and every angler needs a handy set of pliers. The P-Line SparrowHawk pliers do not look like your average pliers and feature an ergonomic design that is comfortable to hold, compact to stow and convenient to employ thanks to the included nylon belt pouch and coil lanyard. These pliers are constructed out of aluminum and come with tungsten carbide cutters that are designed to easily cut through braid. These unique pliers are available now for only $34.99.
