If Dad fancies himself a fisherman, chances are good that he’s got one expensive hobby. But this makes your chore of finding him the perfect Father’s Day gift a breeze. You see, fishing, seemingly, requires more and more gadgets and apparel each year. Who knew he needed a wireless, castable fish camera? (He doesn’t.)
There’s an endless list of things that need replacing, updating, fixing, or scrapping. Cross one or two items off that list and you’re home safe till next year. Fishing, and gearing up for fishing, is an endless obsession, a never-ending procession of new lures, pliers, nets, rods, reels, electronics, safety equipment, apparel, and, well, you get the idea. That’s why a fishing gift is always a safe bet.
