Many of us at BD are fathers and all of us at BD are avid anglers, so what better way to pick out what we would love to receive for Father’s Day than to put together a list of our favorite new fishing product gifts for fisherman and some classics that never go out of style.
Check out our recommendations on what to get the avid angler Dads in your life.
Plano Rustrictor StowAway Boxes
Here is one that is universal for all types of fishing and other tasks as well. The Plano Rustrictor StowAway utility boxes. Virtually all fishermen have used Plano’s StowAway boxes to organize their tackle and are the base module of many Plano tackle systems. Now through a partnership with Armor Protective Packaging, an industry leader in corrosion management since 1979, the StowAway Rustrictor box was created.
The Rustrictor features VCI-infused (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) walls and dividers surround your Dad’s tackle in an anti-corrosive vapor barrier from 360-degrees preventing corrosion five times longer than other options on the market. The VCI will not leave residue, odor or film on the tackle, but will prevent rust and corrosion, maintaining the value and function of the tackle.
Saltwater anglers take note, because just the air around your sport can ruin your tackle!
The Rustrictor StowAway comes in a variety of sizes and configurations to match your tackle organizational style. This could be the best Father’s day gifts for fisherman.
Check out the Plano website to see more.
Grundéns Footwear & Boots
Next up is comfort and traction! Grundéns has you Dad covered from head to toe, but their newest additions combine comfort and function into one great fishing gift! Their new line of footwear has something for any climate and fishery that your Dad might be in. The Deck-Boss Ankle Boot and Deck-Boss Slip On are ever-popular when dry, warm feet are essential. But, for more tropical Dad’s, the new Deck Boss Sandal or Deck Hand Sandal will be right up his alley.
The newest thing in sandals from Grundéns is their collaboration with SeaDek, the ultra-comfortable flooring, and padding solution that is sweeping the boating industry. The same comfort and traction are built into the Deck Boss and Deck Hand Sandals. The SeaDek footbed reduces fatigue created by standing on hard surfaces and provides exceptional traction on the top side of the sandal.
This new top-side design is built on the proven non-marking, siped gum rubber outsole that ensures superior traction on all surfaces, keeping Dad firmly planted on the deck.
Check out the Grundéns website for these and more gifts for your Dad.
Gamakatsu Hooks
Some Dad’s fish offshore and some focus inshore, many like both equally. Here are two brand new hooks from Gamakatsu; premium hook makers for every type of fishing you can imagine.
Offshore Dads will appreciate the New Nautilus HD, a mid-range version of the already proven and popular Nautilus circle hooks. It was designed to fill the gap between the standard Nautilus and the Super Nautilus hooks. If your Dad is going to chase another season of SoCal jumbo bluefin, you can get him prepared with an assortment of these hooks specifically built to withstand the pressure needed for powerful fish like tuna, grouper and more but light enough to let a live bait wiggle.
Gamkatsu hooks are always sharp and ready to fish right out of the package. You want Dad to have the best fishing success, right??
Inshore Dads will be excited to try the new Spring Lock Monster hook designed to be fished in large swimbaits that are popular for all inshore species. Featuring Gamakatsu’s “center point” bait screw, these hooks are easy to start and secure, keeping your bait straight and the hook in position.
Go to the Gamakatsu website or your local tackle store and make Dad’s day!
Dexter Outdoors Knives
The Dexter Russell Inc. Company originated as a partnership between two expert cutlery businesses that were started in the early 1800s. Dexter and Russell companies combined in 1933, and have been at the cutting edge of the cutlery industry ever since. Today, after 201 years, the same tradition of quality and variety is carried on in Southbridge, Massachusetts, where Dexter-Russell produces the broadest line of professional cutlery made by any single manufacturer in the world.
So the part your Dad will love equally at the cleaning table or the kitchen counter is a razor sharp, quality knife to make his cutting chores easier and more satisfying. No matter what type of fishing or seafood processing your Dad does, you can buy him a Dexter Outdoors fillet knife that will be a lasting gift he’ll treasure.
Dexter Outdoors has a huge selection of knives made with quality steel that takes an edge quickly and will be comfortable in the hands.

Seaguar Fluorocarbon Leader
One of the best things you could do for Dad this Father’s Day is to give him an unfair advantage and let him win that friendly wager of “first, biggest and most”. Seaguar’s newest Gold Label fluorocarbon is just that, an unfair advantage over those who are not using it. Using two custom Seaguar-created resins and their exclusive double-structure process, Seaguar created Gold Label to be the smallest diameter to strength ratio yet with exceptional knot and tensile strength, but soft enough for easily cinched knots.
Seaguar Gold Label
- -18% Thinner Diameter*
- + 17% Better Knot/Tensile Strength*
- Extremely soft and supple and cinches easily for fail-safe knots
- Lowest Line Memory* making line management more user-friendly.
- Currently comes in 15#, 20#, 25#, 30#, & 40#.
Seaguar Gold Label is designed to exceed the expectations of the most demanding saltwater anglers. The first superlative you’ll notice with Gold Label is that this 100% fluorocarbon leader is exceptionally thin. Indeed, for any particular break test rating, Seaguar Gold Label is as much as 23% thinner than any other 100% fluorocarbon leader made by Seaguar.
